I absolutely love hearing stories about people stepping up to criticism and rising above them and watching Andersson do this is exciting for me.

This won't be very popular, but I predict that Valimaki won't be the player he could have been. His injuries have taken key development time out of his key development years. If I had to predict, the future guy on the top pairing will be Hanifin because of this, with someone not on this roster sliding into that middle pairing.

I'm indifferent on whether Hamonic needs to be here or not for the remainder of the year. I do agree that it's much better to have him in than Stone, but if you can get something now that you may not be able to later, I'd go ahead.
