kraken made a solid offseason move so far

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.

@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

@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

@Kraken71 aint nobody disputin raymonds greatness rn, we just think samoskevich got potential to be good too man

@Kraken71 aint nobody gonna dispute raymonds greatness rn but samoskevich is gettin a harder job than ppl think, tryin to fill in for drozdov and all that @greg_kraken what's your take on this?

@Kraken71 i no u r right, samoskevich gotta produce or hes done ngl its a tough break for him but idk if we can expect a lot of production rn, @KrakenEnjoyer brought up depth issues and thats the real problem man

man i been sayin that for weeks now, samoskevich is gettin a huge opportunity and it's on him to make the most of it ngl he's gotta step up big time if we wanna compete in this division
