I would think the smarter player would be more flexible than the faster player but thats me.
smarter doesn't make you more flexible in where you can slot in a lineup and still add value. high iq limited by slow feet, lack of urgency/passiveness. He's a methodical/cerebral player and that often doesn't work when playing with players who don't play like you and if you aren't skilled enough to play high up in the lineup, it's often not as beneficial. He's a cerebral 30 pt player who needs to play with fast and smart players. You don't have a big selection on a teams third line. Sutter's ability during his past years here is clearly masked by his lack of health and being on a rebuilding team and I personally feel like it's too obvious to really put in more time into this. I understand exactly why this misconception. I mean, Sutter had injury problems and played for a struggling team and Bonino played on better teams , with amazing players that happened to be good fits for him. Results are going to make most people think a certain way, especially when that GM screwed everything else up. It is what it is. If my posts didn't make it clear why their trade value was relatively equal, I am at a lost.
