With all our moves after Gaudreau/Tkachuk leaving, we seem to have opened a firm 2-3 year cup window. Does this convince Sutter to stay on with his contract up at the end of the season?
Given the extent of turnover in last two seasons, we might be able to reset that clock.They have to be really careful with Sutter as coach. Sutter really has a shelf life of 3 to 4 yrs before he starts to lose the room and he is going into his 3rd (full and partial) season. I would be ok with another 1 yr extension but if they give him a 4 yr extension he wont be around till the end of it.
True, but the offensive core has been swapped around. Dont see him losing the room when 3 major pieces were swapped out this off season.They have to be really careful with Sutter as coach.

thats why i said a 1 yr extension would be okGiven the extent of turnover in last two seasons, we might be able to reset that clock.
My concern is that Huberdeau isn't able to fit his game into Sutter's system as he is the key factor of how long Sutter stays. If Huberdeau pushes back who is easier to get rid of the coach or the 29 YO play making forward on an 8 yr $84M contractTrue, but the offensive core has been swapped around.

If Huberdeau 'pushes back' he is a primma donna and should be traded immediately.thats why i said a 1 yr extension would be ok

Filling up his tractor with purple gas in Tofield?He likely wants to spend more time doing the things he loves.

I think he'll stay. He came back for a specific reason and he still hasn't achieved that.
Sutter isn't a quitter when the job is only half done.
