Carolinalta yllätysdiili – suomalaisen NHL-player’s situation turned upside down
The Carolina Hurricanes have signed a one-year NHL contract with Finnish defenseman Juuso Välimäki. The total value of the contract is approximately 900,000 dollars.
The decision came as a surprise, as the Swedish club Brynäs had already announced on Wednesday that they had made a deal with the 27-year-old defenseman.
Välimäki moved to Carolina during the 2024–25 season from Utah, but he ultimately did not get the chance to play a single game with the Hurricanes’ NHL roster during that period.
In his NHL career, Välimäki has appeared in a total of 271 games and collected 72 points. However, a permanent spot in NHL lineups has so far eluded him.
The Carolina Hurricanes won the Stanley Cup championship last season. The team featured Finnish players Sebastian Aho and Jesperi Kotkaniemi.
The #Canes have signed defenseman Juuso Valimaki to a one-year contract.
