Is Sutter's Move to the NHL the Rockets Gain?

If Brent Sutter takes on the coaching duties with the New Jersey Devils, it has essentially shut the door on Marc Habscheid's chances this season of being a head coach at the NHL level.
Rumors have circulated that Habscheid had a good shot at the job in New Jersey, after he and Dave Lewis were turfed at the end of the season by the Boston Bruins.
So if 'Habby' has had the door closed on being the head coach with the Devils, would Sutter consider him as an assistant coach? Or does this now pave the way for Habscheid to return to major junior, and the coaching duties with the Kelowna Rockets?
It seems odd doesn't it, that Rockets GM Bruce Hamilton has been extremely slow in naming a successor to Jeff Truitt. Or was Hamilton simply waiting for Habscheid, and now that a door has been slammed shut on a pro job , the coach that led the Rockets to a Memorial Cup title in 2004 is headed back to save a team that missed post season play last season?
The wheels are definitely spinning in every ones head over the latest developments, but no ones head is likely spinning more than Ryan Huska's, who at this point doesn't know if he's in or out.
