Still, you wanted to question the addition of Valimaki for some reason. Thus the post from me. Having Valimaki on the in list is completely valid and correct, even if the reason he was out last year was an injury.
Brodie and Hamonic out, Tanev and Valimaki in, as the major changes on the blueline.
But whatever.

I didn’t question the addition of Valimaki. Read my post again, I acknowledged he is an add but I suspect in total, we’re not going to see a net reduction in impact injuries so there will be a mystery ‘out’ somewhere. Will the games gained from Valimaki be a positive? Undoubtedly.
But it’s why I don’t love this IN vs OUT analysis if you only consider injured players who will play more games due to injury.
Frankly when it comes to injury I suspect Flames have more downside risk than upside compared to previous season.
