It's really exciting to think about Dube and Valimaki especially being part of the core going forward. I love Dube's tenacity and willingness to go after players (see Ryan Johansen and Elias Pettersson clips). I had forgotten that Valimaki was relied on heavily so quickly in the NHL. He was killing a 5 on 3 against on the road in just his 3rd NHL game, and helped kill off the final 50 seconds of a penalty in OT in his 12th game.
I realized while making this that Mangiapane will need his own video, so I'll work on that next.
God I missed Valimaki this year. If there's one silver lining from this shutdown, it's that him missing time doesn't carry quite the same sense of missed opportunity. Hope he comes back strong from the ACL injury.

If Rinaldo doesn't come back next year, I'd like to see Lomberg play the same role Rinaldo did this year. There was a deterrent and someone who throws the body
BTW I surpassed 2M views last week it looks like (at least on this 2nd account)!
You don't have to answer with specifics, but I'm always curious about this: With that many views on Youtube do you get much in the way of compensation?

I don't think Lomberg is a deterrent, he certainly can't provide what Rinaldo does.

None. The NHL does though!
