I don't get this signing? Your out of the playoffs and in my opinion won't make the playoffs. So why are we signing a 20 year old who won't be back next season? This doesn't make any sense. Can the Vipers still make the playoffs? yes of course but will they? In my opinion, no. I would have rather seen them bring in a 17, 18 or 19 year old who can get use to their new team, the coaching staff, the arena, town etc and someone that will be back for next season. This season is over, it should be all about next season and starting to build next season's roster.

they are still in the hunt for a playoff spot, not mathematically eliminated so, this is the organization trying to get the team in the playoffs, cant blame them for at least trying and not giving up.
