meh, hope Simashev beats him out for most of the season next year

Seems like mostly PTSD from this season littered with defensive injuries. Either way hopefully he doesn't get nearly as many games next season between Simashev, Duda, and Szuber.

Simachev will probably start in the A. Probably makes it up by the Olympics break.

I was thrilled with the Maatta, Kerfoot and Veggie extensions. This one I didn't want. He's doing a fine job, he's just old and slow, and neither of those variables are gonna turn around.

I wonder what this means for Simashev and Valimaki.
