Honestly his ability to score highlight-reel goals from the high danger areas reminds me of prime Giordano. It'd be great if he could develop the same sort of defensive awareness.

I also see the Gio comparisons for sure. I just think with his size, skating, poise and offensive ability, he looks like a Hedman. Although I never expect him to get to that level, but I do think a Hampus Lindholm caliber player is possible.
MotM, I’m curious, often in his own end Valimaki plays a very steady and calm game. I think this can come across as being conservative, is that why you think he’s more defensive? I just think that when I see him get the puck, he becomes very dynamic.
Fox just got walked again
On a different note, for some reason Ruzicka was benched for the entirety of the 2nd half of the Slovakia/Sweden game. He didn't commit any egregious mistakes and didn't appear to suffer an injury.
He has looked very lazy and disinterested in the games that I have seen from him so far this tournament. I didn't watch much of the Sweden game but based on his "effort" earlier in the tournament I can't say I am surprised to hear this.
My guess is that it was attitude more than injury or big mistake.
Fox will likely finish his degree before going pro. Ivy league schools like Harvard are not as lenient as other schools on letting athletes leave early and return to finish their degrees on their own timetables.I'd like him in Stockton sooner rather than later to be honest. Tons of potential there, still a ways to go in his development. The offensive pieces are there though, so is the skating.
Hugely disappointed in Andersson. I’d be mad if he belonged to our team.

Nothing wrong with what he did. You play to win and at the end of the day I think it shows character on his part. 2nd place is unacceptable for him. And if we're being honest, this is a meaningless tournament anyway. Not like it's the Olympics
