Sutter's only what 11 games into his NHL career and part of that was a 9 game road trip because the new rink wasn't ready. Maybe by Christmas I'll have a different thought on it but for now he's one of my top 3 that fit the initial question.

If you're goin to give Sutter instant credibility for having his team off to a good start, why don't you give Savard credibility for how great he's got guys like Toews and Kane playing leading the Hawks off to a strong start without Martin Havlat?

Because these guys haven't won anything as a coach!

Pat Burns.

He may fizzle after about 3 years, but in the first 3 years he will get the team playing well. Guaranteed!

Agreed.

It takes talent to be an NHL coach and he's wasting away in New Jersey by being a scout.

Dont get me wrong, Sutter is a good coach, but he has yet to prove he's near the NHL caliber of Lemaire, Ruff, Hitchcock etc.

Mike Babcock. He gets average players to play better and his team always works hard. He does well with the media as well and seems like a real cool guy.

For the Leafs, it'd come down to Pat Burns or Joel Quennville for me.
