The reason I am ok to use valimaki as a tradeable asset is that the d is made up of a relatively young group (Hanafin, Anderson, kylington, and then an older vet in Tanev rounding out your top 4). I wouldn't be surprised to see the flames bargain bin hunt to round out the 5-7 spots, as they have this year. I realize zadorov and gudrabson aren't cheap, but I feel like sutter can get a lot out of less flashy dmen (going back to his previous coaching days and again this year).
