How is Cowen more established with 90NHL games than Franson @ 243 or Gardiner @ 87? - burn As a shut down defender,cowen did prove himself capable of playing that roll in his rookie season ,has Franson or Gardener proven that they can be shut down defenders???

Come on man.... this went from more established to shut down roles. Cowen is not an established NHL Dman at this stage in his career any more than Mark Frazer. |

Ill dumb it down for burn ,Ottawa,s shut down defenders in top 4 are JC and Methot,our two pmd in the top4 appear to be Weircoch and EK ,Now i said in terms of established pairings i give the edge to ottawa.Over what should be Phaneuf,Gardener Franson ,Gunnerson |

So Weircoch and his 50 or so NHL games and Cowen with his 90 or so NHL games are established players in this league all of a sudden?
Why are we going with top 4 and not 6 dmen? What the hell is wrong with you, man? |

I think he upset over a pre-season loss to the Leafs...Gonna be tough going for him when the Leafs beat up on his Sens in the regular season.. |

I think what hurts him the most was that the Leafs won and put out a rather lacklustre performance in the process. The regular season should be fun, with the Sens being over hyped and the Leafs being underrated. Just like Topshelf is doing now. |

What in the (frank) is this??
Since either are, or ever will be no.... how does that matter??
Gardiner I'd say proved in his rookie season that he's capable of playing his role (PMD) as good or better than Cowen has at this point.

The top 4 in ottawa does appear set,therfore more established in its roll on the team Can the same be said of toronto,s top4 ???

I'll dumb it down for you top self, JC isn't any more established than guys like Gardiner or Franson.
and this isn't about skill. |

90+50 > 243 in terms of being established.
Franson has played more NHL games than Cowen and weirchoich combined, but they are established and he's still a kid proving himself.

The Leafs have a good team, not a great team. Great teams win Cups.
Toronto's top 4 is as established as Ottawas. We get it, EK is an elite talent, but beyond that Ottawa doesn't have anything more proven or established than Toronto. In fact, one could make the case Toronto's top 4 has far more experience than Ottawas top 4 and have proven more at the NHL level. Its hard to tell which side gets the edge here. Obviously EK tips the scale heavily in Ottawas favour but I would take Franson, Gunnar and Gardiner over Cowen, Weircoch and Methot any day of the week. Even on grupdays and trahdays, and those days don't even exist. Yet. |

It totally is..... Cowen has established himself more in his 90 games than Franson in his 243 or gardiner has in his 87 games.
You chose to turn this into a skills thing which it wasn't. Missing the point. |

I think you're seeing this as an attack on the Sens as much as you claim people see this as an attack on the Leafs. Your top 4 is not more established. Sorry, but it isn't. Outside of Karlsson, that D is quite unimpressive, which is why you're here babbling about top4 and not 6-7 dmen. |

Colorado's top 4 seems set to start the year. They must have the advantage over the leafs too. |
