Timonen has averaged 79 GP per season since the lockout.
Salo has averaged 59 GP (64 if you remove 2011) per season since the lockout.
Again, I'm not sure what your point is here. I wouldnt mind having the guy, but he misses significant time each year, and his play deteriorates due to his accumulated injuries.
Timonen is just getting old and his play slows down due to fatigue. If he were truly playing through injury, he would have missed more than 6 games in the past 3 years.
