Flames Hire Brent Sutter
After resigning from the Devils saying he missed his family, Brent Sutter is back coaching for the Calgary Flames. But, Sutter's brother, Daryl, is GM. I guess he really did miss his family. I have a problem with this. Sutter resigned with one year left on his contract. The Flames fired Mike Keenan on May 22nd. Sutter resigned on June 10th. Seeing a pattern? Yeah, thought so. Brother's are allowed to be close, and I'm sure this has been a dream of theirs. But to dishonor a contract to jump ship? Even when the Flames are on the road just as much as the Devils and away from his family? Next time Brent, man up. Say why you really wanted to leave. Don't make up some excuse. Sure, he misses his family. Every coach does. But he's still away from them half the year. Granted, Calgary is closer to his home in Red Deer, Alberta than Newark is, but the point remains. Take responsibility for your actions. Be honest and forthright. Don't cop out. Maybe Sutter will succeed in Calgary. Maybe the Devils will be better off without him. Maybe this will all work out. I don't know. What I do know is that Sutter went about this the wrong way.
