Truthfully Sutter is a brilliant coach but he isn't god and he isn't perfect. He makes mistakes so that argument doesn't hold for me. We have seen him make big player mistakes as a GM and like granteedev pointed out, that's the same person.
If Zadorov wasn't so horrible in first 2 games maybe it's Kylington who is sitting right now and Valimaki still in.

Sutter definitely has faults, and they largely revolve around his ability to choose personnel. He's an awful GM. Sutter is at his best when he's given a group of players that he did not choose and forced to work with them. He can make a few tweaks in lineups, but should not actually be in charge of choosing lineups. Sutter is also not great at developing skilled players.
I think Sutter has done a great job at getting the most out of Zadarov. But has he made the best decision in playing Zadarov so much in the first place? There's a reason "Sutter players" is a phrase. It's because he purposely plays a certain type of player at the expense of other players.
