At this point I like the combined effect of the new acquisitions more than I care about any of them individually. I think their combined presence makes us a bit tougher team to play against in comparison to previous years, with a more consistent effort level and more physicality.

Individually they seem to be as advertised. Simon looks tiresome to play against, and I think that's something we haven't had enough. Leivo looks like he'll contribute a bit on the scoreboard once he gets more familiar with his teammates. Nordström is our 3rd forward in PK minutes, and our PK has been pretty good. That's perfectly adequate and frees up other guys for other things.

So I'm satisfied with each of them individually and actually quite happy with them as a group. Considering they only eat up 2.3M cap space combined, it's solid work from Treliving. Nothing that will shake the world, but good, basic resource management.

I'm interested to see what they can contribute in the playoffs.
