I'm very okay with this. Not good defensively, though he is good offensively. Leaves a spot for the prospects to earn like Valimaki or Mackey. And no, I don't think Valimaki should be penciled into the Top 4 which I've seen on CP for about 2 years now. He will have to earn a spot like everyone else and expecting him to be able to play against top NHLers for 16-18 minutes a night is unfair to the kid and going to disappoint those who unreasonably put him there.
