I agree with the poster you quoted. What we do know is Valimaki is expansion draft protected. We know Gio is not long for this league. Life will be fine if all we have to do is eventually replace zgio with someone like Mackey. But if we also have to replace Valimaki in the same timeframe....thats undoing a lot of work.
