Do you trade Valimaki while he has decent value as a chip, or do you keep him as the Stockton #1D and bring him up for injury replacement? He might not even get that chance, as I can guarantee that Tre brings in a Stone or Stone-like 7D.

Valimaki has little trade value. The Flames may also have no bottom pair with little money left to sign one. I don’t think they will trade him
