Watching him at the summer showcase, one name keeps coming to mind. TJ Brodie. Although he likes to shoot more.

Not nearly as good a skater as Brodie is, though, from what I've seen (good vs top end elite). Otherwise I see some of those similarities.

How many points does Valimaki have? Is he doing very well relative to peers thus far?

He was playing on the first pairing and had 1 assist (primary) in 5 games. He also had 18 shots, apparently 2nd-most in the entire tournament, but had as much luck as the Flames did in the playoffs when it came to putting those shots in the net.

I didn't watch the games but based off the highlights and stats, he seems like he's playing far better than a 16OA. Also, he's captain over Juolevi
