It is desperately sad that La Costa is out injured at the moment. He was arguably our biggest signing in the Elite League era. The problem is, if it is a head injury (possibly concussion?), he is very high risk for the rest of the season. Any other position on the ice you can afford to carry players but I would suggest you cannot with a starting net minder. It will be interesting to know what an scans/diagnosis reveals but we need answers quick because if La Costa is out for more than a couple of weeks, our season could be over before its started which is a huge shame given with the team we have signed this year.
