The Calgary Flames have sent Juuso Valimaki to Finland to play in Liiga.

The Calgary Flames have announced that Juuso Valimaki will be heading overseas to get some playing time in soon. The 21 year old Finnish defenceman is going to head back to Finland to suit up for Tampereen Ilves to start this season.

The young defender is in need of playing time somewhere. He missed all of last season with injury and needs to get back on the ice.
