That isn't on Sutter that is on him. Doesn't mean he sucks but at his age there is no reason to think he is anything more than an ok back-up.

Hazek was 27 when he was traded from Chicago to Buffalo. Kiprisoff was 27 when he was traded to the Flames. Tim Thomas was 32 when he became a starter.
I’ll grant you it’s unlikely Vladar’s career trajectory would be the same, but it’s not the foregone conclusion you’re trying to make it.
