The top players/lines by ice-time against that Valimaki has been facing this season:
Tkachuk/Barkov
Connor/Appleton
Ovechkin/Kuznetsov
Trochek/Panarin
Laine/Gaudreau
Dach/Anderson
Lining up against this type of competition is definitely not being sheltered.
Yes, it's a limited sample size, but Valimaki has been solid in his time with the Yotes so far. Hopefully he keeps this up so that Treliving and fans can continue to be bitter about not extending enough patience towards the kid.
