Respectfully disagree.
He's the wrong coach for the team because the system is defense. The Rangers are not a defensive team and don't need to be. They're simply not built to win through defense.
With the current roster, they're built to win through offense and goaltending, and the problem with our current "system" is that it's a safe, defensive system based on neutral zone backcheck movement and gap control (NOT puck pressure) that has forwards so concerned about getting back, their creativity in the offensive zone is stifled, so concerned about helping in their own end that outlet passes and breakouts have become impossible, and the D so concerned about helping the consequentially struggling offense so they pinch and constantly create oddman chances against by getting caught.
Regardless of whatever benefits Sutter might offer for conditioning (and I do agree this was a major deficiency this year) won't cover up for all the other baggage that comes with a guy like him. Not the least of which is that he's a defensive coach. It's not what he is, it's who he is. You wouldn't hire Ken Hitchcock to coach the 90s Red Wings, and you wouldn't hire Bruce Boudreau to coach the '90s Devils. It's just a really bad fit. The last thing this team needs is another coach who's not going to develop or facilitate talented offensive players producing at even strength.
Sutter will turn them into a boring, gritty team that won't win enough, and will hold back our highly touted young players who despite their slow career starts need someone who is going to get the most out of them and actually coach them offensively - not just tell them stupid shit like "get pucks deep, go to the net, screen the goalie, get greasy, throw the puck at the net" while spending 75% + of every practice on neutral zone defense and D zone coverage.
We've literally lost in the playoffs for the last 15 years because of lack of scoring. It's not a criticism, I just don't see how people here can look at that and think we need a defensive oriented coach to finally win.
