Honest question, what is it about Valimaki that makes him so untouchable? He’s a nice prospect but is he really that much of a blue-chipper that you don’t even consider moving him for a 26-year-old player who’s already an established star? The way he’s talked about you’d think he was lighting the AHL on fire.
For all we know he tops out as a 2nd pairing dman or becomes the next Tim Erixon. Which is far more likely than becoming the heir apparent to a Norris-caliber defenseman.
Not meaning this as a slight against the player, just not understanding the level of hype and value he seems to carry with him.
