VALIMAKI HEADS TO THE HURRICANES
The Carolina Hurricanes acquired defenseman Juuso Valimaki from the Utah Mammoth for future considerations.
What does it give the Carolina Hurricanes
For the Hurricanes, Valimaki provides added defensive depth. He has NHL experience, which is a bonus for a team that is still without No. 1 blueliner Jaccob Slavin due to injury.
What does it give the Utah Mammoth
For the Mammoth, this deal is mostly about moving on from Valimaki's contract ($2 million) because he was not likely going to crack Utah's defensive rotation this season.
Fantasy impact
There is no fantasy impact here, as Valimaki is mainly a depth defenseman these days. Injuries have ravaged his career.
