Ok, so this means any of the following might be true:
-Hamonic may have tweaked something, but it isn't so bad that he'll be out long term. Valiev is only up in case something happens to a player on game day.
-Valimaki isn't game ready yet. He might need a few more games to get up to NHL level conditioning etc.
-Stone is close to returning, so no need to rush Valimaki back up to the bigs. Conditioning won't be an issue for Stone since he's been skating the entire time.


Other than that, I'm not exactly sure of the reasons here to bring up Valiev.
To me it seems pretty straightforward - the team does not want Kylington or Valimaki on their off-wing, and would rather play Prout on his strong wing. So there's no point sitting Valimaki in the press box.
