TLN 20. Borya Valis
In case you missed it, Borya Valis was a free agent signing out of the WHL back in March. He finished his final season with the Prince George Cougars putting up 80 pts in 66 GP. He's a 6'2" RW that plays an energy game and likes to go to the net with the puck; it started translating to production more recently. You can treat him like a draft pick from the Fraser Minten year that is now graduating to Marlies duty.
PPP has a slightly more in-depth profile on him.
Even if he doesn't pan out to NHL viability, it's good to see this front office pursuing this player profile: right shot forechecker with some skill is a niche that this team desperately needs given its current glut of zippy little LWs. Who wouldn't wamt a (much) cheaper and younger Josh Anderson?
