There were many reasons why the Chicago Blackhawks were able to get to the 1992 Stanley Cup Final, and one of those many reasons was the acquisition of Brent Sutter.
Growing up in the 1980’s, it felt like every team in the NHL had a Sutter brother on it. Looking back having Darryl Sutter as the Captain for a few years meant we had the toughest one of them all on our team even if he wasn’t the most talented.
In 1991 the New York Islanders were on the down slide while the Chicago Blackhawks were looking for some scoring and leadership so they jumped at the chance to get rid of Adam Creighton and Steve Thomas for Brent Sutter.
