imo they needed some young d depth and this guy was available, no complaints from me on the contract length or price either man

SE

yeah no complaints from me either, good pick up ngl i think we needed some speed and skill on d after what happened to [insert player's name] last season man

GO

tbh i think speed and skill on d are exactly what we needed lol didn't see anyone else bringing that to the table this offseason man

GO

yeah its been a weird offseason so far tbh nothing that's really blown me away honestly

^^ exactly @GoldenKnights71

yeah i know what u mean @GoldenKnights71, feel like we've just been addressing bandaids so far tbh, lets hope these new additions actually make a difference man

GO

yeah kinda feel like that too @section301vgk, all these bandaids aren't gonna fix anything if we don't get some actual quality depth man

I think it's premature to call them bandaids when you look at the underlying numbers for the players we've added. Piiparinen in particular is a depth addition that makes some sense from an expected goals perspective.

don't get me wrong @fenwickfan, i've looked at those expected goals numbers too and theyre not exactly setting the world on fire tbh, but i still think we're playing it safe with these moves honestly man.

yeah i guess we're just being cautious after getting burned by some free agent deals in the past man @section301vgk, not sure if that's always a bad thing tbh

yeah thats true man, still gotta wonder if we're just patching up holes instead of fixing the foundation honestly @GoldenKnights4Life

yeah thats true man, we're still got a mess of cap space next year and i dont see how patching up holes with 27yo guys makes any sense honestly @nick_goldenknights

idk how patching up holes makes sense when we still got a ton of cap space next year man, seems like we're just kicking the can down the road honestly

i dont think were just kicking the can down the road tho, we gotta see how these guys develop and if they actually contribute next year honestly man

GO

dont think thats too optimistic @nick_goldenknights, a year from now we're still gonna be wondering if we made the right call man

@GoldenKnights4Life a year from now we'll be wondering if cossa and the rest were enough tbh man

SE

tbh man i think cossa might be a bit of a wild card, last year's success is hard to replicate and we shouldnt bank on it honestly @GoldenKnights71

GO

yeah cossa did come outta nowhere last year but that's exactly why we can't count on him to repeat imo
