While I agree with you I just still don’t love the move.
Mackey is a full two years older than him, was undrafted and had played less than 10 games in the NHL.
It’s not only always about who is the best right now and the organization clearly understands that because they kept players on the big club that were outplayed by Zary for example.
Sending Zary down was the right call but my point is Valimaki should have been the guy to stay and I think the only reason is because of his contract that Tre signed him to.
Mackey wasn’t kicking the door down or anything. He didn’t appear to be much further ahead of a guy like Meloche if at all.
