I see it more of a “Paul Bryon L” and less of a “Sam Bennett L.”
Valimaki shares most of the blame for not making the team, but the Flames could have just given him the spot instead of risk losing him, I guess. I’ll be surprised if he’s more than an bottom 3 defenceman on an average team, but that won’t stop people from counting him as a loss, and is one, but I don’t think there’s much criticism to go around about it. Sometimes that’s how things go.
