Help is on the way.
valiev is a 21yr old excellent ahl dman.
loov is a 24yr old bottom pair ahl dman.
they're not comparable.
Very true....Valiev is our best D prospect currently. Others may pass him.

Nielsen keeps exceeding expectations. If a redraft were done today, I wonder where he'd go.
Really hope he pans out, he'd provide that mix of skill + size that we're lacking.
Interesting thought indeed. I've never seen him play so it's interesting (and encouraging) to read about how well he's doing. The only fly in the ointment is diceman's concerns and he's been pretty accurate when it comes to assessing the skating of Percy, Finn and Marner so hoping he'll become a top pairing guy is probably a pie in the sky thing. If he becomes a top 4 guy I'd be ecstatic.
This.
Looking more and more like he could develop into a top four guy - like a better version of Franson (ie a guy who can actually skate)
Thanks....I am hopeful that he is still in the awkward stage as far as his feet goes. Dirk (Dale Derkatch) thinks that he is. If so and his feet are still in the awkward clumsy stage then we nay have found a gem....Physical and mean with some offensive upside. We need him to be a player as we lack a big D man who is mean and can skate at the NHL level.
