Conn Smythe winner in 2015. If we don't win the Cup this year I want him gone.

 

[Bkennedy*]

i want him gone yesterday

 

[piqued]

Could've landed Greening too if we'd dumped him in the Spezza deal.

 

[Satan]

haha if you think Nichushkin will get you Colin Greening you better log off.

He might get you into the conversation.

it's great that so many of us are optimistic about val. for me, my excitement is more tempered. earlier this thread is the first time i've read/heard val being compared to datsyuk. i thought this ludicrous at first, as datsyuk's dangles are absolutely ridiculously legendary... but the later comment about puck protection made more sense. to be on par with datsyuk, val would need to improve in the reading-the-play-and-stealing-pucks department as well.

as far as being some sort of generational player, i have my doubts. usually, those kinds of players dominate from the get go (or wait a year a la stamkos). val won't have that opportunity, as his role offensively will be outside the team's top 5 (benn/seguin/spezza/hemsky/goligoski).

i'd expect him to be in the top 6 and the 2nd pp unit. the latter expectation would minimize any drastic increase in his point total. mid 40s would be my prediction.

[Zrhutch]

Is he waiver eligible yet? We obviously wouldn't get anything for him and he's clogging up the spot for Glennie

The fact that the thread title isn't in Russian completely ruins this thread for me.

I can't change the thread title on my phone so if Satan can provide the translation, a mod can change the title to all-Russian.

EDIT: luv u bby

Swim on boys

I don't remember the arm sleeve. The original tribal face mask on the front but not the rest. Did Val get more work this off-season like it seems everyone else did?

 

[Satan]

Tattoos are [IN]

 

[Klockis]

The guy has like zero creativity when it comes to his tattoos.

Think he got it right after the season ended.

Wasn't there during the playoff run when he was going instagram in Anaheim trying to find chicks. But was when he was vacationing in Spain.

Someone just got put on a stalker watch list.

If you know his BM schedule we might need to have you see someone. Lobo's Little Black BM Book of Val .. size, consistency, and regularity.

 

[glovesave_35]

He ate curry last night.

 

[BigG44]

When was the last time Lobo was in Boulder, CO?

 

[Ampersand]

That is a horrible tattoo

Not hard to go on his Instagram and look at past pics to judge when it was

But I am a very good stalker when such skills are needed
