Valimaki probably won't be back before the trade deadline, and even if he is he will need to play in the AHL for a few weeks to get back up to speed. He definitely won't pick up where he left off.
For that reason, I still don't see the Flames trading Brodie or Hamonic this season. However, I don't think the Flames will retain either player, unless it is an extremely team friendly contract.
