No, I'm actually not, if you watch every game this year you can see Sutter is better defensively and he wins faceoffs, which gives the team possession. Gaudette will outscore Sutter in the long game, but his defensive inabilities exacerbate what's going on with the rest of the team.

In this compressed schedule there isn't a bunch of time to fix what's broken, the NHL isn't a developmental league, you put the guys out there that give you the best chance to win. Right now, that's Sutter as 3C.

I see what your are saying here Willie Desjardins. What's the point trying to win games when you can just lessen the losses.

Rest assured, there are jobs on the line here, and Green, who's without a contract past this season, isn't going to try and develop Gaudette's game, he's going to put the guy out there that can help them win all the while saving his future with the club.

Isn't Sutter tied with Boeser for 2nd most goals?
Doubt we'll ever see Gaudette put up half a goal a game!

Does Gaudette even have a hattrick in his career? Sutter has one.

People want Sutter back in the line up after 2 years of wanting him out. Those are serious pom- poms

Naw, before we started playing I said it was going to be a Sutter kind of year. Here we are.

Hey, that's unfair! Give him at least 600 more games to figure it out.

Oh I know

We've all been hoping for the best with JV, but some people just can't get their poop together. Or just don't have the mental capacity to succeed at the next level.

I'm not sure what the optics would look like for JB with Virt... he signed him in the summer and let Toffoli walk, and then trades him part way through a season? Yikes.

Didn't need Toffoli they have Sutter

The Comets do have Lind playing center between Sven and Anas.

Cull said Focht speed stood out at camp.

It Definitely sounds like they are molding him into a third line center. He said he wants to work on his D and will be playing the PK.

He is the right guy for that role. Plays a bit of an agitator and has some nice puck handling/goalscoring ability.
