I'm not sure what is typical, but with 7 defenseman in the NHL, that leaves 8 in the AHL. And out of those 15, there doesn't appear to be a clear cut ECHL guy. It seems like a lot.

Including RFA's and Monahan, we have 24 professional forwards. There will be some PTO's I get it, but I don't think it's a stretch to speculate the Flames will be trying to trade a d-man for a forward.

I would trade Valimaki at this point. Reclamation project for reclamation project type trade.
