I think Sutter will want a veteran #7 that understands their role and won't be upset about ice time. I think Valimaki is either in the top 6 or most likely will be movedI think he will be a #7 probably.

Feels kind of self explanatory but Treliving really really really really really really likes Valimaki. That's it.Can you expand on this a little bit.
Valimaki should be traded for picks.
Treliving likes Hamonic……so there is that.Feels kind of self explanatory but Treliving really really really really really really likes Valimaki. That's it.
If you want hard evidence there probably isn't any. If you're okay with circumstantial then there's lots. Listen to how Treliving spoke about Valimaki previously. Basically praised him to the moon and back. Look at the contract he give him (1.55M x 2yrs one way for 73 GP, 3G, 11A, 14P) vs the one he gave Kylington (0.75M x 1y two way for 95 GP, 5G, 11A, 16P).
Anyway, I'm hoping Valimaki asks for a trade out this summer ala Baertschi. Because that's the only way Treliving won't automatically pencil him in onto the starting roster.
Assuming he's worth a 2nd or 3rd, perhaps use him as a sweetener to move Monahan or Lucic's contract.Treliving likes Hamonic……so there is that.
I think if Valimaki is traded, it’s for a similar about to be a bust prospect….every team has a Valimaki, I doubt we get more than a mid round pick for him if we want picks

More likely in a package to get rid of Lucic/MonahanI love Vali (I'm really biased), but if we were to move him, maybe it should be for someone who also needs a change of scenery?
Maybe Vali+2nd rounder for Kravstov?
He just got placed on wavers. I wonder if someone will claim him
Sutter didn't destroy anything.
Totally disagree. Valimaki's problems developed long before Sutter came on the scene.... and I'm not talking about just injuries. Its not like he didn't get his chances to regularly play and stick with the Flames.. he did.Doubt it with his salary.
What a shame. Injuries wrecked the guy and sutter destroyed his confidence.
I agree, he has said himself he hasn’t been the same since he was injured. Clearly something isn’t right and he’s regressed substantially. I’ll be sad if he gets claimed, but this isn’t the player we drafted.If he didn't tear his acl, he'd be an NHLer by now
