I like the current defensive pairings and the goaltending is out of this world.
If I had to experiment at all the one thing I think I would try would be Pelletier in for Pitlick. The third line is the one line that doesn’t seem to have a lot of chemistry. I’d try the move just as an experiment during the home stand to see what happens.
Wondering if Valimaki is going to get moved. He seems to be in Sutter’s doghouse both this year and last year. I know a lot of people don’t like Zadorov. But I honestly can’t see him going anywhere. With Stone around as well as Mackey on the farm it seems like a possibility.
Anyone else have any ideas? Or just continue on as is?

I think Tre really value defensive depth and would be selling low on Valimaki now. Almost every year when playoffs are a possibility, he brings in an extra depth defenceman. But almost never gives up a defenceman mid-season.
Regardless of what happens, I highly doubt that Valimaki gets moved this year. Injuries are inevitable and he will get into the rotation soon enough.
