At the very least, with 11 defencemen, Valimaki is not playing, which is a positive because it means he will not be eligible for the expansion draft!
But this could also mean a LHD goes for a RHF.

At this point, they would be foolish to bring Valimaki back. I believe if he misses the whole season, he doesn't need to be protected against the Seattle expansion.
Might as well let him get back up to NHL game-shape in Stockton if he gets cleared to play.
