The thing that makes that assist intriguing is the way Valimaki sets up the lane with a brief show of a shot. That shot is a natural inclination for an offensive player in that position, and a predictable defensive read, but Valimaki is already thinking of the secondary task of the seam pass while understanding how a defensive mindset will be altered by a small fake. Not that this is unique, but good players don't just see the play, they read the ice, and hopefully this is an indication that Valimak plays the game in such a fashion.
