Hmmm... Nothing like pissing the new coach off at the end of the year.

I wonder if he's trying to make an example out of them. I think there's been a sense of entitlement around this team going back to when he was here the first time. I remember him making comments about it then. Maybe he's trying to change the culture of this team.

Still doesn’t make it a good trade. Let’s see what kind of return he produces.

Here's a smoking gun comment out of Sutter - this is as direct of a shot at Bennett, that you'll ever see:

“I think (Dube) and Valimaki are the identical players in terms of where they’re at - their minutes don’t go up unless they become better players,” said Sutter who scratched Valimaki once again for Tuesday’s meaningless 4-2 loss.

“If they become better players this team becomes better. There’s a little bit of entitlement that went on here and that impacts your team in a negative way for sure. You don’t play guys more to help them get better. They have to help themselves get better based on their training, based on their preparation, based on their compete level, not just the skills that they were drafted on.”

You want a prima Donna? How about those players in the 80's who hugged eachother after a goal to celebrate? Guys are such a disrespect to the game. Men don't show emotion. Get rid of any man who celebrated in an embrace with their teammates.

Oh wait thats only you who think that has started recently and is only done by weak players. No other players celebrate with their teammates ever in the history of the game.

what are you talking about? I didn't say any of that

the proper way to look at Bennett is that he was traded for a 2nd, Heini, and Mangiapane in a sense - if coaches gave into Bennett's entitlement, Mangiapane never would have got a chance.
