Observations

Click to Expand

October 2020 – Vallati passed through the 2020 NHL Draft without a selection, making him a free agent. Jokke Nevalainen

June 2020 – Vallati didn’t get signed by the June first deadline. He re-enters the draft. Jokke Nevalainen

April 2020 – Vallati saw his point production dip in his second year with the Oshawa Generals. The 2018 fifth-round pick of the Jets remains unsigned, so it’s possible he could return to the OHL as an over age player or ink a deal and start his pro career with the Moose this season. Jamie Zadow

May 2019 – Vallati sees the ice very well and he’s always looking to get his teammates involved in the play. He’s a prototypical mobile, puck-moving defenseman that many NHL general managers covet. He will likely get an invite to Jets camp later this summer and have the chance to prove if he is ready for pro hockey. Jamie Zadow
