I have only watched the Flyers for 2 seasons. In that Dutes and Hutchy appear to have recruited well.
There are very few games where I thought the team didn't turn up or play for him. There are far, far more where the team played out of their skins.
The run into the play offs last year is as good an example as I can give to illustrate that.
We compete well with every team with perhaps the exception of Cardiff who I think operate at a higher level from the rest of the league.
He does not have the budget or resources that the majority of the other teams have. As a result we need to work for the whole 60 minutes. That limits the type of player and tactics employed.
Playing the percentages means we play a brand of hockey. It also means we get a level of result. We could play more flambouyantly and have a couple of players that fight more but at the cost of results over the season.
Have a look at other teams forums and what they think. Nottingham fans often lament about how much fitter and well drilled we are.
Dutes does well for us. Players want to come back when they could probably get more elsewhere. Unless the Flyers were to change course and find far more funding, it is very difficult to think anyone else could do consistently better and provide the stability and loyalty that he has.
In Dutes I trust - which has probably just jinxed him.

I've heard from more than one person that Dutes is actually a very good hockey coach. I have heard from numerous brits that he’s pretty poor. That might just be down to the way he treats to brits though. I canny argue with you on that point as I agree that he doesn't treat the young Brits that well with regards to ice time. But surely even they can see that he's a decent coach? I've heard that from previous players, current players and backroom staff. All these guys say he is a good coach.

The way I look at it, if he's as bad a coach as most people make out why do a lot of our imports stay for multiple years? I've played for my share of bad coaches across multiple sports and couldn't wait to get away from them!

Because IMPORTS are treated extremely well and the owner has low expectations TD ticks the box on those fronts. I have spoken to a few ex players and definitely have had a few negative comments. Brits have very little chance under TD and are especially critical for obvious reasons. Todd said last night that the Brits will get a chance to show this year ..... what he means is the next two weeks as he is almost a full line of imports down, he also had a moan about some of the comments probably from this forum .....well TD they are mostly justified.

Emmerdahl looks pretty damn good, comes from a very good skating league, size, speed, can play special teams, very happy with this signing on paper. If he could have replaced Aarsen or Isaacs with a big physical stay at home man I’d like to look of the D a whole lot more. He we will be wearing No 44 Jersey His favoured number is 4 does this mean Wando hasent retired Or no 4 Jersey is getting retired

This is a chance for these players to show what they can do with a regular shift Show the coaches they can cut it Also any coach in the world isn't going to command 100% perfect comments are they

Finnish nettie Toni Tammi icing in pre-season games. Marty is on a two way contract with Racers. Tammi seems an odd signing, he hasn’t played since 2016 when he played in the Finnish fourth division. Not sure what he’s done since that’s going by EP.
