I'm talking about having both cozens and Lundell this year
- gerbe75pts


I would leave Lundell in the Liiga for 20/21 and have Cozens start on the wing before moving to Center if he proves he can handle it.

Hopefully we dont put all our eggs in the basket and find out cozens is just a winger and not right for center .. :/

They're just going to walk away from a guy that had 18 goals?

Doesn't make sense

Imagine that team if he was good? They're loaded and have an amazing young goalie

Wonder if Sullivan and Adams are going to have a talk this off-season.

his playoff stats have taken a dive...perhaps his o-zone starts going from over 58% to 50% has something to do with it...

3rd-line RW on the cheap without giving anything up (if they van doesn't qualify and buffalo can sign him?)..that's workable

i'd like to surround cozens with hard-driving players who play the entire ice and can contribute offensively, like virtanen's 18+18...that's why i like mikheyev and believed sam bennett would have been a good get...same with a player like craig smith

If I were a GM, I'd be making a list of players who have had strong regular seasons, both 19-20 and prior, who've struggled during the play-in and playoff games, to try and get those players at a lower rate, either via UFA or trades, with the thinking this is a true one off event scenario, and even if it isn't, the regular season matters more. Get to the playoffs first. Worry about playoff production later.

Usually I wouldn't think the Sabres and Leafs would make a deal, but it makes sense for both teams IMO.

monahan's underlying numbers are extremely weak this playoffs and they weren't stellar during a regular season that saw him have his worst production since his rookie campaign
