fair enough steve i guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on how they're using the space but at least we got a d-man with some size and presence out of it

fair enough lilf but imo size and presence dont make up for lack of skill, we needed a guy who can move the puck honestly

i dont think size and presence are bad things tbh, we got enough puck movers already, just need someone to be a wall in front of the net honestly @IslandersLifer

tbh i think thats a bit naive, we need someone who can actually skate and move the puck to be that wall honestly @Islanders88

ngl i think you're overthinking it, a guy who can skate and hit people is still useful tbh

ngl your right that kinda guy can be useful tbh but i still think we need more talent on d, cant rely solely on grit and size man

idk man we're getting into semantics here, either way i still dont think bear solves our d corps issues tbh

idk how bear solves any issues tbh, we need game-changers on d, not just a spare body man

i think you're reading way too much into one signing man, bear's not gonna change the face of our d corps tbh

idk man i think you're downplaying how bad our d corps looked last year tbh, one signing isn't gonna fix everything but its better than nothing

i think youre reading way too much into one signing tbh, one guy dont make a difference when were talking d corps man

tbh i think one signing might not make a difference but its better than sitting here on our hands and hoping everything magically fixes itself next yr

yeah i get where you're comin from but one signing wont change everything man, we still got a ton of work to do upfront imo

tbh i get where u r comin from but we cant just sit here waitin for the perfect draft class to fall in our lap man, we gotta do somethin now @section301nyi

yeah i see ur point @steve_islanders but like idk how we can just rush into anything when we got a bunch of UFAs to sign first ngl that cap situation ain't pretty
