			Good luck Juuso. What could have been................. 
 
Poor kid and his injuries. Looked like a slam dunk solid NHLer, now he's waiver fodder. I'm not mad he got claimed, just mad how his injuries screwed him and the franchise over. Sad stuff.

			What’re the salary cap implications now that Valimaki is claimed? I assume he was going to be in the AHL so how much space do the Flames save?

I sure hope Valimaki is in the lineup when we play Arizona.  His play is well short of NHL quality IMO.

Burke really didn’t sound like they were, and the fan base was mad he got taken. I wonder if it was a “Well, we’ll let you keep him but remember that next time” sort of note.
