Isles fan here, just had a question about Valterri. Do you guys think all this talk about expecting more out of him, and him becoming an upper-echelon player is possible? I've watched more than a few Wings games the past few years, and I don't remember him standing out at all. So if I'm correct that he hasn't been an impact player, do you think he's about to become one in the next year or two? Playing with Franzen sure couldn't hurt, but is he the type of player that can produce on his own, or does he need someone like Johan in order to be a legitimate factor? I have to confess that the main reason I'm asking is because he's still available in my fantasy league, but I'm also curious just in general as to what you guys think of him.

Granted I don't get to see all the Detroit games, so maybe I'm off, but it seems like Flip might be one of those players where you're constantly saying this: The kind of guy whom you're always waiting for to take it to that next level, but he just never does. Which wouldn't be a terrible thing in his case, since he's already a very good player. But maybe the production will never match his potential.

Shorthanded points aren't automatically associated with strong defensive play - however, if you have a player with Fil's speed and offensive ability added to his defensive awareness, that will often translate into some shorthanded points.

another thing that seemed odd, but I remembered him being sound defensively - yet he only has 2 short-handed points in his whole career, and both of those coming last year was last year the first where he was a main fixture on the kill? because usually when you've got someone with his speed and defensive awareness, that's a recipe for a good amount of shorthanded points
