Juuso Valimaki Is In Some Hot Water
It hasn’t been the easiest run for Flames prospect Juuso Valimaki since being drafted by the Flames back in 2017. After showing some promise and getting ready to join the big club, he had a knee injury that sidelined him for most of that season. Then he made it to Calgary, but since Darryl Sutter took over as head coach, the Finnish defenceman hasn’t been able to crack the lineup. Valimaki has only seen action in eight NHL games this season before being shipped to Stockton to play with the Heat in the AHL.
