Valimaki has been a massive disappointment for me as well. I never liked his skating and mobility to begin with, but I figured it would improve over time, but it hasn’t. Maybe the injury has something to do with it, but until it does, he’ll continue to struggle with the pace of the game and that’ll continue to piss Darryl off as he’s been quite critical of his game in the media. Tough love I guess.
I’d have no problem using him as trade bait for Jack Eichel. Would’ve easily done the same for a signed Mark Stone too.
