The guy knows more than any of us. Not going to say he's smarter as there is all kinds of "smart" but he's boots on the ground and the rest of us are watching games and going about or lives.
If Valimaki is sitting I think we can assume it's one of the following ...
1. He hasn't been better than Zadorov in Sutter's mind.
2. He's a toss up but tough love will make him better in Sutter's mind.
Pretty sure the guy isn't just scratching superior players because of a God complex.

Some coaches will let young players work through mistakes by continuing to play them. Others will pull them immediately and replace them with a proven veteran. Sutter is recognized as the latter.
