I think if you are still putting Mackey and Valimaki in the same group, then you didn't really see them play last year and are basing this on reputation.
Valimaki needs to have a tremendous season in the AHL just to be back in the Flames' longterm plans. His stock has fallen a lot.
Mackey could probably stick as a full time NHLer this year if there was an opening.
They two aren't really close to each other.
