Yeah, I did notice the extra effort he was putting on every shift; and I surmise, that he was playing for a contract. Moving forward, JB should stick to signing him to 1 yr deals, given his past history (imo). Edited July 28, 2021 by ShawnAntoski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, good value and no term for players over 30+. edited Edited July 28, 2021 by ShawnAntoski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maginator Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 For 1M hes a steal. He was one of the few bright spots last season. Welcome back Sutts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petey Castiglione Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Always liked Sutter. Happy he's back for the shutdown/faceoff/pk role, was a big part of beating the Blues in the bubble. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BertaNuck Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) You can’t just erase the entire bottom six, having Sutter and motte help all the new guys get settle into the the system will help travis Edited July 28, 2021 by Filthy McNasty 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Excellent deal - lower than I thought - we still need at least one 'foundational' center lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksJay Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Not a Sutter fan but at that price, it's a steal. Sutter with Podz and Pearson? Horvat with Garland and Hogz? Dickinson on 4th ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says a lot about him to take such a low contract to stay with the team in a reduced role like that. He knows he's made a lot of money from us the last few years and not necessarily lived up to his contract, so for him to give back to the team like that is very respectable on his part. Great post, dude is a diamond. 1 hour ago, combover said: Lame. Another soft bottom six forward. so much for being tougher to play against loading up on minis and buttercups Mans is on a one year deal being paid 1M to be eat heavy defensive minutes, win faceoffs effectively, be an important part of our PK, provide leadership and be an example of what a professional looks like for our younger players, and you're fussing about it? &^@#ing for real? Dude's taking a smaller role, a significant pay-cut, and doing it when he could most certainly get more term and dollars as a UFA elsewhere. The &^@# are you on about?
