The Flames will turn to a new voice on the bench after their failure to reach the postseason.
Sutter's two-year contract extension was set to kick in on July 1.Sutter’s dismissal comes two weeks after former GM Brad Treliving left the organization. The former Stanley Cup champion’s survival of that announcement seemed to indicate that he might stay on as coach but only prolonged the inevitable.
Gaudreau joined the lowly Columbus Blue Jackets in free agency, while Tkachuk forced his way into a trade to the Florida Panthers. The 25-year-old’s comments since being traded have indicated that his relationship with Sutter soured throughout the 2021-2022 season. While Weegar was reliable on the blueline in 2022-2023, Kadri regressed to his career averages, and Huberdeau struggled mightily. The forward had his worst season since 2014-2015, and a 60-point backslide from his 115 point campaign in 2021-2022 to 55 this year was the worst in NHL history.
Calgary’s roster is one of the league’s oldest and most expensive; it will only get costlier when the 29-year-old Huberdeau’s $10.5 AAV extension through 2031 kicks in this summer.
