He's still very relatively inexperienced and young with a lot of room to grow, so there's no reason to be too down on his progression. Hopefully for their sake, those who were maybe super high on Valimaki before and had him pencilled into a bottom pairing role for the year or even more outrageous, a top 4 role (!?!) will temper their expectations going forward for prospects. It was always highly unlikely he'd be in a top 4 role with so little games played and on a Sutter team, that he'd get a chance to learn while on the job in a bottom pair role.
