Played his first game with the Habs. I thought he looked decent. Good skater, good size, and can make the first pass. One of the better defenseman for a miserable habs D group last night.

I only caught bits and pieces of the game yesterday. But he didn't look to be that good of skater to me. Not that fast and wasn't that smooth on some turns and pivots. I need to see more of him though.
It's nice that we'll see a lot of Valiev and Reilly.
Condon was for a 5th and Dubnyk was signed as a free agent by Arizona after the end of the season. Off the top of my head only took a few days to report to....lol
You gave us an example of things that happen in the NHL, not a trend like the GM gives away talent galore for nothing.....and when I say talent, we are talking Davidson LOL
Yes, had a solid overall game. I particularly liked his defensive reads and his first pass. Also, he was quite poised with the puck in the o-zone. Skating is not on Reilly's level but decent enough.

I just saw your post. If he had signed Dubnyk he could have traded him for at least a 3rd.
Only team interested in signing him and his .850 save percentage was last place Arizona.......but really, every team screwed up, they could've signed this player for free and traded him for a pick.....thing is, these things happen all the time, just not continuously to the same GM, or yes, there would be a problem.

he is another Jerabek....he will be gone next season
stop over hyping these useless plugs,
he was never even given a chance on the leafs team and they have horrible D to begin with,
you think they would trade him away if he was useful?

Hindsight evaluation. Dubnyk was not trending well. Coyotes signed him to a one way deal worth $800k. How the hell could we trade him for a 3rd if he was our back-up behind Price when the Coyotes were offering him a better chance to play games? Dubnyk is a terrible example as mismanagement.

Skate like at big swede we had. Siboire could he hit. Guys were scared in practise. I could never remember his name.

The Leafs have about 8 different #4-6 D-Man prospects in the pipe so Valiev became the odd man out. Will he become a #1 D-Man? Extremely unlikely (to near impossible) but for what he is, a 2 way D-Man with a slight emphasis towards defense, Valiev has a good chance to at least be a #6 D-Man in this league for years to come.

A D-Man who couldn't even crack toronto's starting lineup could be in our top 4!!
Technically he's a Russian because he where he was born. But he is ethnically a Tatar, who are blood enemies of Russians.
