I think it's more about pairings than about individuals.
Sutter even mentioned it during preseason... I'm paraphrasing but "You might have a good game, but if your partner didn't, then you might not be playing next game".
Not to take away from the Valimaki-Gudbranson pairing - you're right that they've been a more than solid 3rd pair. But I'd rather have Zadorov-Kinnvall out there than Zadorov-Gudbranson. It's just about being sensible.
