Brent Sutter to Coach the Devils?

TSN is reporting that Brent Sutter may very well be stepping down as head coach and GM of the Red Deer Rebels to take the head coaching position of the New Jersey Devils. If this is true, it just may be a coach that lasts throughout the entire season for the Devils.

Sutter coached Team Canada to back-to-back World Junior championships - while not knowing the term "defeat" - and has led his Red Deer Rebels to success in the WHL over the past 10 years. He has gathered three 1st place finishes in the Central Division, 3 births to the Finals and was able to hoist the Memorial Cup in '01.

Along with all this he had the opportunity to coach his son Brandon right into the NHL as the Carolina Hurricanes choose him with the 11th overall choice on the 2007 entry draft.

I think it's fairly obvious that all that is left for Brent is to land in the NHL and chase the cup again, albeit from a slightly different perspective this time. Let's hope Lou doesn't have him whacked before the season can end.
