Sutter isn't dumb. Nor is he that stubborn. There's a reason Valimaki is sitting over Zadorov. I don't know what it is but Sutter does. And right now, I'll take sutters decision making over upset roster players to form my opinion on things like this.
Personally, Valimaki needs to be playing. Sitting for extended periods of time is just hampering his development. Of which I agree with the kid about. But if he's sitting still, he needs to find another gear in practice. Force Sutters hand, which is what he wants anyways.
