Sutter has said that he holds sweden hockey in high regards. He doesn't mind him playing over there (dub probably would be better but swedish pro is good too). I took his comments to mean that he isn't hurting himself....unlike if he was in college not playing enough games or in Russia/Switzerland, where the competition isn't up to snuff.
