Valimaki is two years is he not?

My bad, re read it and get what you're saying!

Yeah i had to edit 8n Valimaki after because the signing took place while I was making the thread

It would be amazing if Pelletier came into camp and won that 3LW spot.

I would be surprised if the Hanifin/Tanev pairing got split up. And for that reason, I’m expecting Zadorov to play 2LD with Andersson, which leaves Valimaki + Mackey/Stone/Kylington for bottom pair duty. Not optimal for Valimaki’s development…

My hope is Valimaki and Andersson come to camp at another level and gives Sutter the clear option to roll:

Hanifin - Andersson
Valimaki - Tanev
Mackey/Kylington - Zadorov

I always prefer to see shut down Dmen (Tanev, Zadorov) paired with offensive guys who can skate well.

Fingers crossed for some improvements across the board from CGY’s younger guys this summer.

And of course, it would be a GD travesty if Treliving didn’t pay the fair price to bring Eichel in.

Hanifin and Tanev got split up last year remember, and Hanifin brought Andersson's game back to life. They also had great synergy last year too. I expect they will be the 1st pair moving forward with Zadorov playing 2nd or 3rd pair
