Rollieo Del Fuego Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 There doesn't seem to be a Curtis Valk talk so I am starting one. If it doesn't get shut down I will add some stat's to this first post. Curtis is back playing and has 7 points in 3 games in the Zoo (2g,5a)...correction it is now 8 points in 4 games. It can't be long before he get's a call up to the Comets.

thejazz97 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 It might be because Curtis Valk isn't a Canucks prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead44 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Etem, Vey, Shinkaruk, Wacey Hamilton, and Valk all played on the same Medicine Hat Tigers team. I was impressed with Valk in the prospects tourney. Close to 50 goals in each of his last two WHL seasons, and a PPG as a rookie in the ECHL. He definitely has some potential, I wouldn't mind seeing him move up and Cassels move down to try and find his game and get more minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think or hope that Vey is going to be sent down before his 10th game. Sounds like sutter and sbisa are possible to return on our road trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right...but at the rate he is scoring that might change soon, a month or 2 in Utica at a good clip should do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the injury took him out for about a year. I think it was his knee and you always worry if he will come back 100%. I like Valk and would like to see him do well. I hope he gets a shot with the Comets. He does not have a Canuck contract but I think of him of an "unofficial" Canuck. I don't suppose it is likely he will ever make the NHL but I am impressed by his commitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyhee Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 1. The Canucks don't own his NHL rights and don't have him under contract. He is on an AHL contract with the Comets, who called him up briefly but assigned him back to Kalamazoo January 16. 2. I don't know anything more than what is on his stat line. Since returning from injury he's played 1 game with the Comets (0 g, 0 ast, 0 PIM, +/- 0) and 8 with the Wings (3 g, 8 ast, 8 PIM and +3.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 He's definitely worth signing. I expect that he'll be inked to a two year entry deal this summer. He's earned at least that and it's my opinion that had it not been for his injury, Valk would've been playing in Utica this season, since he's been tearing it up in the ECHL.

Stierlitz Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Ben Birnell @OD_Birnell 2h2 hours ago The Comets have recalled Curtis Valk from Kalamazoo, according to the AHL's transaction page. Valk played 1 game for the Comets this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wshdrvvn Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 good. I'm going to take a positive stance on the delay of this call up and chalk it up to getting him up to game speed after a very lengthy injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wshdrvvn Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Valk got his first AHL and an assist i yesterday's win. I'm hoping he can finally get his feet under him in the AHL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
