Kylington had a far more frustrating path to the NHL and he has shown that he is willing to grow. How much complaining did we hear from him during his constant sitting? I could be wrong, but I don't really remember him complaining.
If Valimaki is also pouting during the practices, then I could absolutely see why Sutter isn't playing him. I'm not saying that he is pouting, but that would be exactly the kind of entitled behavior a good coach should address. If he is willing to listen to Sutter's advice and push hard during practices, he will be rewarded. I have a feeling that's what Zadorov did and I'm not a huge fan of him.
