Speculation: Does Sutter stay beyond this season?
- Thread starter Mobiandi
- Start date
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.

He can stay as long as he wants as far as I'm concerned. Second time he's bailed this franchise out from a certain slow death.
Darryl is the type of guy to mean what he says, and when he said he had unfinished business in Calgary I believe him. Whether that's going to mean winning a cup or what exactly I'm not sure.

Given the extent of turnover in last two seasons, we might be able to reset that clock.

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.
thats why i said a 1 yr extension would be ok
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 contract

I hope that Sutter stays beyond this season he helped Calgary win the division and probably can again. Due you think Jarome Iginla would ever come back to Calgary and want to be an assistant coach. He still has his buddies Martin Gelina and Craig Conroy working in the organization. Just a thought.

If Huberdeau 'pushes back' he is a primma donna and should be traded immediately.
You're either part of the problem or part of the solution. You can change coaches but there would be no guarantee the players wouldn't behave the same way with a new one.
Sutter is the type of guy that won't retire. I bet if you ask he'd say I'll rest when I'm dead.
He'll farm/ranch in the summer and coach hockey in the winter for as long as he can.

I think we should hire Trotz as a scout for the next x amount of years at good money and he can take over once Sutts is done. Enough of going back to shitty coaches. As we can tell it makes all the difference

Depends how we do this year. You know everyone in that room is going to have a chip on their shoulder this season though.

I think Sutter is done. He likely wants to spend more time doing the things he loves. The only way he extends for one more season has to do purely with the roster asking for him back rather than management/ownership asking.
I do think he will not be totally gone though. He will likely be very happy to regularly come in to do coaching consulting gig for whoever takes over. I don't think we will have to worry about as huge of a coaching quality drop off once he's gone.

I expect Sutter to stay beyond this year. Treliving and Sutter will ensure we have a competitive team, i.e. with a chance to go all the way, every year.
