Whatever it is, no point in sending him away and playing him in Stockton for 6 weeks if he's going to come back with the same attitude/issues that's keeping him from the lineup here (speculating here).

I think best thing for Valimaki is to get sent down and play entire season in Stockton. He needs a lot of ice time and hasn't played a lot of hockey last 3 years.
