To be fair both Valimaki and Dube have both underperformed this season relative to expectations. While frustrating to see players like this scratched for veteran plugs, there is a method to the madness here as Darryl is trying to turn them into real pros. I imagine both may have some questionable practice habits as well as he brought up training and preparation. I'm not sure about airing that stuff out in the media but we ask for players and coaches to be more candid so there it is.
