Valimaki was given an NHL look to start the season as there was a chance that he could have been sent back to Tri-City to save a year of his ELC. He apparently showed enough after 9 games but not so much that he didn't need 20 AHL games behind Fattenberg and Prout and of course Andersson.
They got and extra year of ELC slide out of Andersson and Kylington but felt the need for Valimaki to be in the NHL after only one year of slide.

I don’t think he was a contract slide candidate for last year regardless of the 9 game threshold
