Valimaki not so much. Gave up 3 grade a giveaways in the defensive zone right up the middle. He dosent look like he has improved at all.

Valimaki was awful. I kind of figured this a couple of years ago once the injuries mounted. For defensemen, those first couple of years of development are critical.
I didn't want to sound cynical, but I kind of figured we lost a huge asset when he suffered his second major injury during the critical development years.
