I've seen better draft picks than Samoskevich's. You think adding some kid who can "play both wings and center" addresses your depth issues? Reminds me of the '97 club, when every team thought they needed to be flexible with their forwards. @tbh22 wouldn't last a shift back then.
kraken made a solid offseason move so far
tbh i was worried about losing our draft pick but samoskevich is definitely a good addition man, seems like he can play both wings and center which is huge for our depth issues
@GrumpyInGrosse think that's reachin though, samoskevich was a top 10 pick and has already played pro level hockey man
@GrumpyInGrosse i think u're bein harsh rn, top 10 pick and already played pro ball is somethin ngl

honestly idk how you guys are defending this pick @section114sea dont get me wrong samoskevich looks fine but top 10 in a deep draft? feels like we're settling for okay @Kraken71

dont get me wrong @greg_kraken i think samoskevich is a solid pick but i get where youre comin from, top 10 feels like we reached for him in hindsight man

@GrumpyInGrosse i mean samoskevich is a solid player but top 10 feels like a luxury pick in a deep draft, ngl, and we could've got someone who brings more juice @Kraken71 gets that his skills are there, idk if that justifies the cost tho
@greg_kraken idk man, samoskevich has skills but yeah ngl it was probably a luxury pick in hindsight @Kraken71 gets that too, its just not my biggest worry rn

im kinda surprised no one's bringing up that this might've cost us a midround pick next year, we gave up some future capital for samoskevich @section114sea
@KrakenEnjoyer honestly i thought that was brought up already but yeah giving up future picks for samoskevich does sting man

i think we're getting too caught up in the draft pick thing tho, honestly raymond is the only guy i trust with the puck right now man

ngl i think kraken71 had more skills than samoskevich does lol @greg_kraken still don't think its a huge deal, there's other guys in the org that can make an impact @KrakenEnjoyer gotta agree with you tho raymond is our guy rn
@KrakenEnjoyer i gotta agree, raymond's been solid for us in the past and its weird nobody's giving him the time to prove himself rn with all the new signings and moves
@greg_kraken yeah i know exactly what you mean about raymond not getting love rn, samoskevichs gotta earn it too tbh
@KrakenEnjoyer said:@greg_kraken yeah i know exactly what you mean about raymond not getting love rn, samoskevichs gotta earn it too tbh
yeah idk about samoskevich earning it, he's not even here yet man lol
@greg_kraken idk man, i'm just saying samoskevich has a lot to live up to ngl, raymond's been solid for us for yrs now
@KrakenEnjoyer said:@greg_kraken idk man, i'm just saying samoskevich has a lot to live up to ngl, raymond's been solid for us for yrs now
idk man, i'm just saying samoskevich has a lot to live up to ngl, raymond's been solid for us for yrs now honestly you gotta love the kid tho
