Seravalli: Seravalli: Flames trade demands rescinded following Darryl Sutter’s departure

What a bunch of millennial babies.

With the way FA works now, teams don’t have much of a choice. Hard-nosed coaches like Sutter and Babcock don’t appeal to players or their agents.

Gotta’ be Huberdeau who made the ultimatum, right? First year with Sutter and Allan Walsh was doing a 'help, I’m be repressed' schtick on Huberdeau’s behalf on Twitter.

Lol yourself. Could it have been handled better? Sure. Sutter could have refrained from putting his disdain of Francis on full display.

Lucic had an immediate positive effect on that line which went on for about 9 games as I recall. Then yes they weren't as effective.

Definitely a firing offence.

You can’t just rug sweep it when he kept over utilizing Lucic, Lewis, and Ritchie over youth.
Sutter got locked out of the dressing room in LA. This isn’t a new thing with him. The reporter is also Salim not Francis.
He has a short shelf life and was in a power struggle with Tre during the season.

How did so many players have career years under Sutter year ago?

Look at the Jets, it’s not always the coach(es)

True, but in this case it's pretty clear it is.

That is your opinion. It is not gospel. And Salim is a poor replacement for his predecessor. Knows next to nothing about hockey.

I think it is more the owners don’t want to rebuild and there are a lot of upcoming UFAs for the Flames. Rumours that Sutter played into Gaudreau’s and Tkachuk’s decisions as well

I’ll believe the people I know who work in the dressing room

 

[Nanuuk]

Oh? Do tell. Who do you know that works in the dressing room?

 

[PromisedLand]

wohhh just seeing this thread. who asked to be traded

 

[Bond]

Oh? Do tell. Who do you know that works in the dressing room?

Not players. Think more people who interact with players, support staff and the like.

 

[Chrispy]

Please be Babcock, Please be Babcock, Please be Babcock, Please be Babcock...

They'd still be moving forward in player treatment from Bill Peters...

IDK, what lines is Sutter alleged to have crossed? I thought it was his predecessor who was the habitual line stepper.

I don't think he was a line stepper.

Line stomper, line kicker, sure. But line stepper?

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I still think there will be significant changes, I specifically wonder about Toffoli and Markstrom, especially since the guy that brought them in is gone.

Seravalli: Flames trade demands rescinded following Darryl Sutter’s departure

In case you hadn't heard, the Calgary Flames fired Darryl Sutter on Mo...

Flames wouldn't have lost Johnny Hockey and Tkachuk if they never hired Sutter

What a bunch of millennial babies.

Millennials are vets like Crosby and Ovy now.

I loved how he was praised highly last year and now everybody is taking down on him. I'm talking the most praise I've ever seen from a coach on HFB.
