While I agree overall, Valimaki played 24 games 2 years ago and was great. He only hasn't played more because of a couple freak injuries.
He was killing 5 on 3 penalties as a rookie and looked great at both ends of the ice. Expectations are high, but for good reason with Valimaki.
Nesterov is a huge question mark. I think he could be solid as a #6, or fizzle out like so many European defencemen that come over and can't make it work.
