I would keep Sutton and try and trade Witt

Despite having only half an nhl defense and 1/3 of an nhl offense, the Isles have stayed within sight of the 8th spot DESPITE coach Gordon. While the team has bought into his system, Gordon rewarded players with playing time not deserved. The biggest examples are Gervais, Park and Thompson. It took until mid December for Gervais to be a healthy scratch despite being the worst Islander defender in the Wang era. Then he sits for only 2 games to sit FM4 who’s play has been sketchy as well. MacDonald’s play on the Minnesota trip should have shown Gordo that Gervais could have sat games at that moment. Then there is Gordo’s decision to play the 4th line in all situations no matter the situation. Down 2 goals in the third…give them a reg. shift. 4 on 4 v. Stamkos & St.Louis, let’s put Park and Thompson out there. The Islanders have no true 4th line, but we play guys like Sim, Thompson and Park despite the fact that we should be giving kids like Comeau, Tambellini and SChremp a good look. They have a greater shot to be part of the future than our current 4th line which has added nothing this year and has been horrible on the pk.
I give Gordon credit for squeezing some blood out of a stone with not much talent, but he does not hold players accountable for their poor play. Then he breaks up the KO-Moulson-Tavares line and later laments their lack of scoring…well, play them together.
I don’t see Gordon coaching this team beyond his contract. In fact, playing Gervais this much usually results in a coach NOT making the end of the current deal.

The Isles are so much better with Sutton in the lineup…I think it would be a mistake not to keep him

Its a shame that KO didn’t make it as positive..His lack of goal production hasnt stopped him from working hard every shift…Hope he starts finding the back of the net…

I'd resign him. He does well in gordo's system, has physical presence and hits. He fights, and does what is needed.

To me, the wrong man's contract was extended a while back. Brendan Witt has become expendable, Sutton is a needed factor for the defense.

A big question for the Islanders rebuilding plan is do they sign Sutton to a contract for next season and beyond or try to trade him at the deadline for a draft pick and or prospect or both. In my opinion our defense lacks so much talent, size and depth we should try to sign him because of his overall play and his physical pressence which we sorely need. I’d like to here your opinion on this BD. Thanks
