I already know this is going to be an unpopular opinion, but I think Valimaki could do with a year in the AHL to work on building muscle mass and a more explosive first step with his stride. He's got everything else that you need to get to the NHL, but those things will keep him from being an effective every day NHLer. If he were in the league this year he would probably take a lot of penalties because he's outmatched in those regards.
