I get the impression that the day to day motivation is a bit of a challenge with Valimaki. I'd cite the injury that cost him a year, but he played well in the Finnish league in 20-21 before the NHL got going. Perhaps Covid and how that went down plays a role here. Certainly the number of coaches the Flames had did not help. At times there's been a good player, but seems like the consistency can fall off at times.
