Same thing with Valimaki, but probably moreso since he legitimately sucked.

Sure but Ruzicka is not a tweezer imo, he has been dominant in AHL and barely given a shot in the NHL, the only reason he might not make the team is because we are one of the deepest teams at Center. There is no reason for a team that is looking to add a 3rd line Center to not give him a shot. He has all the right tools and skill, just needs to build consistency. I would bet a lot of money that he gets claimed, just needs to watch his play from last year to understand that he might be able to make it as a skilled top 9 Center.
