Whale Tail Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Last 2 years in WHL GP G A TP PM +/- 2012-13Medicine Hat Tigers WHL 71 46 45 91 54 -6 2013-14 Medicine Hat Tigers WHL 72 47 45 92 36 33 He is 21 now. Surprised he isn't in the AHL. Wouldn't hurt to give him a try out since Shink should be going to AHL next year as well and when Shink left Medicine hat, Valk took over for Captain. 170 pounds for weight 5'9 for height so I guess those are the issues Anyone know about his speed?

Where's Wellwood Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Damn, he's small. Is he related to Garry Valk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogolol Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 He's in a lot of the shinkaruk highlights, I assume they were linemates. It would be good for Shinkaruk as I think he's starting the year in the ahl and valk being there would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenman92 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Damn, he's small. Is he related to Garry Valk? Great kid. I wrote this story on him a few months back for HockeyNow http://hockeynow.ca/major-junior/20-years-of-pulling-for-the-same-team Not related to Valk, but I believe he's a cousin or nephew of Kelly Hrudy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasCanuck Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 He's small, but really couldn't hurt to give him a contract. Even if its just Utica that signs him so that we don't have him on the regular 50 contract cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHitman Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Absolutely, he's a fantastic player and definitely has the potential to surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckFanForever1123 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 With the numbers he put up, and the skills he seems to possess in highlight videos, absolutely he should get a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squeak Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I won't be surprised if he does well - gets an invite to main camp, then is signed to a AHL only contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wshdrvvn Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Sorry too small. Schroeds is gone. our small skilled guy roster spot is vacant :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I personally think he would be a decent sign for the Comets. Not big, but offers a low risk high reward 1 year deal for the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadcanucks Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Sorry too small. Never seen him play, but apparently the kid plays with bite and has some talent in spite of being a midget by NHL standards. By some off chance, Valk has traits similar to Gallagher, wouldn't you want to at least take a look at the kid? Even if he's signed to a Comets contract and is sent to the 'zoo for a season, it would surely be worth the $50k to $80k, no? I think that was Aquilini/Gillis' bar bill in Boston after rolling into Beantown up 2-0 back in 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
