Flames sign Darryl Sutter's son Brett to minor-league extension
https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/fla...171312508.html
CALGARY — The Calgary Flames have signed former coach Darryl Sutter's son Brett to a minor-league contract extension.
Brett Sutter and the American Hockey League's Calgary Wranglers agreed to a one-year contract, the Flames said Tuesday in a statement.
The 36-year-old centre from Viking, Alta., was the Wranglers' captain this past season when the club topped the AHL regular-season standings at 51-17-3-1.
The Wranglers were eliminated from the playoffs May 19 in the third round.
The Flames fired Darryl Sutter on May 1 after missing the NHL playoffs by two points. He's since been replaced by Ryan Huska.
Darryl Sutter drafted Brett in the sixth round in 2005, when Darryl was both coach and general manager of the Flames in his first stint with the NHL club.
Calgary rehired him as coach March 5, 2021.
Brett Sutter reached 1,000 AHL games played Dec. 21, 2022, during the Wranglers' inaugural season. He became the eighth player in league history to do so.
Brett has scored 190 goals and compiled 263 assists in his AHL career. He scored his first NHL goal with the Flames in 2008 while appearing 18 games for the club between 2008 and 2011.
He went on to play another 38 NHL games for the Carolina Hurricanes and Minnesota Wild.
The Flames re-signed the six-foot, 200-pound forward last year.
He played in pre-season games, but wasn't called up during the 2022-23 season.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 25, 2023.

Wow, nothing’s changed, still the old boys club, becoming Oilers South.
Am I doing it right?

A bit surprised by this. Nothing to do with the Darryl Sutter situation, but given his age. I had the impression his was winding down his playing career last season.

I see nothing wrong with this.

Love this signing! Sutter was great for the Wranglers last year, helping the young guys along, pitched in with a couple big goals throughout the year too.

Taking a while to get to 5000

Plus it pretty much guarantees the occasional Darryl sighting at the top of the Dome. Brooding. Planning. Soon...soon....

I don't take any issue with this. It makes sense to have the farm team led by a career AHLer who will actually be on the team long-term. Many of the top offensive players in the AHL could get called up at any time to the NHL. Many other players are going to bail for other leagues. Naming a player who isn't actually going to be part of the team for the whole season as captain is ridiculous.
Not many AHL players stick with it until age 36. Brett is likely to transition from captain to some kind of behind the scenes/coaching role.

That's what I was led to believe as well. I thought it might be as soon as this season, though.

Could have just titled it “Wranglers extend Brett Sutter”.

Clearly a double agent sent by Darryl to turn our minor league players against the Flames in retribution for his dismissal.

Darryl has many millions of reasons not be bitter with what happened. I'd like to get paid $8 million dollars to not do my job.

Tough to be a fan of this team. How can a guy as nice as Craig Conroy sign such a piece of garbage human to play for us?

How much is he getting paid on just an AHL salary. I would assume in the $300-$500k range?
