Vancouver Canucks general manager Jim Benning brought in Brandon Sutter by trade from Pittsburgh and called him a “foundational piece” that would help them compete for the playoffs. Unfortunately, that hasn’t really happened. Sutter hasn’t been the player they hoped to see when they brought in.
Sutter has been known for his two-way defensive penalty killer type of play. When he is healthy, we see his two-way game but most of the time, he really doesn’t do anything on the ice. With Adam Gaudette and Jay Beagle rounding out as the bottom six centres, I think is time to trade Sutter.
