One of the newest Carolina Hurricanes was involved in a bar fight recently, which may have been one reason his father, the general manager of the Calgary Flames, decided to trade him.
According to the Calgary Herald, Brett Sutter is facing assault charges related to a fight at a Scottsdale, Ariz., bar last week. Sutter was sent to the minors Monday. His father is Calgary GM Darry Sutter and his uncle is Calgary coach Brent Sutter. Brent Sutter is the father of Canes player Brandon Sutter.
Needless to say, none of that was mentioned in the Canes’ official news release.
