It’s amazing what four weeks can do. Just ask Brandon Sutter and the Vancouver Canucks.
In early October, every Canucks fan and pundit alike were running him out of town. Leading up to the season, one may have had better success finding a fan with the stones to rock a Mark Messier jersey over one with Sutter on the back.
It was that bad.
Fourteen games into the season, however, and Sutter has arguably become the biggest surprise through the early stages of the year. Sure, J.T. Miller and Thatcher Demko may disagree, but there is a strong case to be made.
