Rieder is younger than Donksoi. Not sure why the assumption is Donksoi is going to come in and solve anything, same with Connor Brown.
If you can sign them for cheap then fine, but I don't see why those guys are so much better options then what we tried with Reider last year. Just could easily blow up. All while making your defenese a lot more shaky.
Now running two rookies on the bottom pairing, one injury away from them being in the top 4. Not good.
I can pretty much guarantee you they won’t score 0 goals.
That’s the risk you run. You can’t build your lineup afraid of injury. We’re a McDavid/Drai/Nuge injury away from a completely lost season. We’re a Koskinen injury away from our NHL starter being Shane Starrett. Unless you’re Russell’s agent I don’t know why you’re so freaked out about moving a #5 defenceman. You’re worried about the baseboards when a tornado just tore your roof off.
