Im not, but the reality is that he has not progressed at all and actually looks to have taken a step backwards.
Doesn't mean he wont find his stride again, but his leash is shorter than others because of the lack of improvement.
Also, there is a plethora of NHL level dmen ahead of him at this point.
One would assume a deal is forthcoming to even out the balance of D/F on the team, and Valimaki could be a part of that.
Personally I think there is a bigger deal to be made and Kylington is moved which opens up a path for JV and others.
