nice one. Heponiemi is a fun one to track, could turn into an impact player in a few years

We we big fans of both Ros and Hepo. Both are players I drafted myself so those guys were harder to move. However Gio is a massive addition to our blueline. Our team is horrible and I need to make as many moves sooner rather than later or the season will be lost.

The price was steep but we are ok with what we paid given what we think Gio will bring. Hopefully this can pan out at help both teams. Thanks to Cheese for the always fun talks.

Gio is a stud Dman. Could be just what the doctor ordered in Pittsburgh. Nice trade for both teams I'd say.
