The opinions of Valimaki over the past few months have been drenched in disappointment and concern, but how fairly can he be assessed yet? Scoring at a point-per-game pace with Ilves Tampere of the Finnish Lliga with 19 points in 19 games, Valimaki built a lot of hype for his return to hockey after missing all of 2019-20 with a torn ACL.
