If he pans out to be nothing more than a 3rd pairing defenseman that's probably going to be a disaster for the Flames as they had high hopes for this player.

A year ago Valimaki was considered by most people here at CP to be close to untouchable.
Even now a lot of people would have him playing top-4 ahead of Zadorov.
The drop in Valimaki to the Flames 4th best under 23 is a big reason for the drop from #12.
The Flames are the only non-playoff club in the 25-32 group of pipeline teams... except for #32 Seattle who has no pipeline.

Looks like the well has run dry for some of the top teams of the past decade (and the Flames).

For the Flames it’s more of a slow recovery from having no prospects at all… Pronman ranked them dead last in 2019.
