Andersson is likely the first call-up for defencemen.

I do think Valimaki will get his cup of coffee. But as an ELC eligible to slide (and therefore not be eligible for a Seattle expansion draft), I doubt that he gets over the 9 game mark unless he blasts the doors wide open. It's much better to let him tear up the AHL for the better part of a year to ensure as smooth a transition to the NHL as possible(like with Janko).

As for forwards, I think the pecking order would go to Foo/Mangiapane and then Dube.
