Agree with this 100% - with Lucic in front on PP2 if Bennett doesn't work out.
Think of all the D who have had huge early years - Gus, Ghost, Klingberg, Hughes, Makar - I think Vali could join that group if given the chance, Defence is the part of the game that Rookies need to be sheltered longer term. Based off highlights for Liiga Valimaki is poised, makes smart plays and is a threat passing and shooting.... it is worth a shot for sure.
