idk how u cant be optimistic, we got a guy with upside and didnt mortgage our future or anything...

yeah we didnt mortgage the future but next year's picks might be interesting with that second gonna be gone by the draft day tbh

ngl you're right we dont know the guy yet but there's something about him that reminds me of a young larkin honestly man @Kraken71

idk if thats a good comparison yet tho gotta see more from him before i'm sold on the larkin vibes ngl though kinda like that kind of upside imo

i'm with u on the larkin vibes but dont think we can compare him just yet, gotta let the guy skate some games and show us what he's got. maybe he surprises us all ngl its hard to predict who's gonna be the next big thing

ngl yeah its hard to predict who's gonna be the next big thing but samoskevich at least has some size and skill, maybe gives us something we lack

size and skill are great but let's not get ahead of ourselves, gotta see how he fits into our system and how the coaches plan on using him

tbh @KrakenEnjoyer i get where you're coming from but idk how much more size and skill we need lol maybe the coaches have somethin else in mind for him

tbh i kinda like your optimism on the coaches havin somethin else planned, hopefully they dont overload him with too many roles ngl though we got burned by that last year with karlsson and his "project" thingy

yeah i dont think they'll overload him this time, hopefully the coaches have learned their lesson with karlsson and all that drama @section114sea what r u getting at with size and skill not being enough?

idk what u mean about size and skill not bein enough we desperately needed a boost in scoring last season ngl @Kraken71 i think samoskevich can be that guy, been watchin his highlights and he's got some magic to him man

ngl samoskevich has a different kinda game tho he's no sniper but he can get those gritty goals that matter tbh i think his size and skill combo will be perfect for our powerplay @greg_kraken

not sure gritty goals mean a lot

idk man gritty goals can be huge for us if we're gettin stuck on the outside, samoskevich'll bring that extra effort and crash the net honestly

yeah samoskevich gonna bring that intensity and we need more of that on our team honestly man he's not just for gritty goals though maybe ppl r sleepin on him too much imo
