In his 24 NHL games Valimaki D+2 was out 15:29 The same year Andersson D+4 got 16:02


The only reason Valimaki is playing in Finland is to get some ice-time on his injury before the NHL.

Puljujarvi's time in the NHL was basically a disaster and sending him to Finland was the same as sending him to the minors for a full year

May as well be saying that Valimaki will do better than Juolevi. Not a hard or realistic standard.


what did you expect from Valimaki?

So obtuse.
