If he can (or has) improved his speed, plays more responsibly, and then takes full advantage of his monstrous frame, that'd be awesome. I’d be happy to eat crow re: Boris.

I'm willing to give him a chance to prove his worth. GL- Keep in mind that we haven’t seen Valabik in a Thrashers jersey this season (because as you said, pre-season doesn’t count).

Boneheaded giveaways, being out of position from being too slow, and horrible penalties are not what this team needs right now. I only want to see him in a game if his hind-side is going to get into a rematch fight with Sid. I'm also willing to put money on never seeing Esposito in a Thrashers jerseys (pre-season doesn't count). Feel bad for the kid, but his glass knee isn't going to help him get to the big leagues.

His physicality means nothing if all it leads to is penalties. Not to mention his horrid passing. Boris Valabik has no use on this team unless he fixes his mental game.

I think he's successfully stepped up his physical game and I'm glad to see it. Pittsburgh's not missing Espo. Hate to hear it for the kid, though.

Boris will certainly bring the level up for the team. Lets hope its a good balance of discipline and nastiness combined. I really hate to hear about Espisito. I really had high hopes for him in the future. Rich Ben,
