Can someone give me a scouting report on the guy?
Tough physical Dman in the Chara mold... this is what I've heard.

Okay, I let the first couple of posts go where you made comment about Prust taking Valabik out with one punch, but I can't let it slide anymore.trahans99 said:I even seen him get his clock cleaned by a 5'10 Brandon Prust, one punch and Valabik went down face first... got up 30 seconds later and threw his helmet on the ice and took a temper tantrum.

Obviously he is a big hulking defenceman but he looked like he didn't know what the hell he was doing out there. He lost the puck many times, was not physical at all and when your that big you better be.
I even seen him get his clock cleaned by a 5'10 Brandon Prust, one punch and Valabik went down face first... got up 30 seconds later and threw his helmet on the ice and took a temper tantrum.
Based on those games I wouldn't even draft him, but since he is so big someone will.
i'd compare him to John Erskine another big hulking defenceman from the Knights now with Dallas, but John had some skill in junior Valabik has none.

Yes, thought so......... If you were in the same situation, would you be happy with the linesmen/refs, or would you be ticked that they allowed Prust to roam free while holding you? Thought so again.......
