Why does he need to be better? He's better than an empty space, which is what we currently have.

" I’m pretty sure Vaskivuo will offer a lot more offensively than some of our forwards currently are. "
Because of this statement...
If someone's who's never seen him play makes such a statement i think I'm not out of order in asking why he thinks so.
And to get to the point which of our forwards will he be better offensively than ?

Fair enough, although we currently have a bunch (Lacho, Ollie, Buss, Mosey, Lindhagen) being outscored (or tied) by Tim Billingsley. He'll be doing well to be much worse.

Well good, you've at least the class to name those you feel are underperforming.

You said he'd be better... Yet not prepared to say better than who.
If you're going to say players are underperforming then what's your issue with saying who these players are.

So if this new player is going to add to the team, just what is it he's adding ?
Is it his goal scoring prowess, his aggression on the boards, his ability to draw key penalties, his passion... If a person is SO convinced he's going to add something then it should be identifiable..
If it's just an extra body on the ice we're happy with, can I suggest my 75 year old mother. Cause she makes a nice cuppa tea as well.
Look I'm not criticising any player in the current roster or this new player, but neither do I wave pom poms at the announcement of a new signing.

Oh perlease......... I love a reasoned debate as much as the next man but if that ain't a post designed with one thing in mind.... ie a flamefest, then I don't know what is.

I can’t see you making any reasoned debates other than trying to disagree with everyone and constantly asking about player characteristics... You mentioned on another thread that you’d put the work in to make player profiles to stop any arguments... yet here you are arguing again?

You do seem to be spoiling for an argument tbh. I mean he's scored well in most leagues throughout his career, a decent mix of goals and assists too, and had a recommendation from Francis, who did well for us. I reckon he'll be more use than your mum would be, even if his tea skills need work.

Well isn't that an answer to the question I've asked ?
If you see me asking questions as 'spoiling for a fight' then you're a moderator, do your worst.
I just think people are being a bit sensative.

Well what do we think after two games ? Can’t say I’m impressed. 😐 To be fair the team around him are an absolute shambles.... can't do it on your own and this lot can barely pass properly to each other. God knows what has happened to them but when they get the puck some look clueless and then either dump it down the ice, leaving the opposition to pick up the puck and go on the attack, or they go one better and pass it to the opposition. When they shoot it would appear that the opposition netminder has a bull's-eye on his chest as they seem to go for that spot on a regular basis, inflating the shots on goal, guess its a panic shot or a panic dump and chase, anything to get rid of the puck..... For me, and I know there is massive support for him from the happy clappers, dining out on years gone by, but if Black wants to salvage anything out of this season he should let Corey go NOW and give someone else a chance... And in that I don't mean Clarke, a player who has learnt his trade under Corey.... Someone who can take this bunch and give them some belief and confidence, because there confidence is in the floor. Some of these players were superb at the start of the season and now they look like imposters who have never met each other before.

I think some of these players massively overachieved at the start of the season but I’m not convinced that this isn’t their real level right now. The only difference now is it’s pretty obvious a lot of them are already on the plane home in their heads.
