Cozens 15 points in 21 games and is invisible have the time.

Glass half full or half empty?

So are 95% of all hockey players. Only the superstars are visible everygame.

Wasn't that why Cozens was drafted 7th overall? To be a superstar? I mean you ain't looking for grinders when you leave Zegras on the board.

Vinny and Krebs are sitting tonight. Wonder where they go from here. Okposo, Girgs, Mitts, and VO seem immune from the sitting. Jost and Asplund deserve to stay in.

Does Krebs go down, possibly when Bryson is back?

I like Jost. Gritty player and makes the new Larry line fun
- hehateme


Agreed..he needs better linemates, neither Girgs nor Okposo can keep up...but leadership, lol.

If Girgensons could score, that line could have 6 goals the last 2 games.

Ha. Superstar. Like maybe 30-50 players in the league. See tage and dahlin.

Tuch disappears some game. Still very good player.

Redraft right now and I still pick cozens. See big picture 69 man

They don't have the right linemates for Krebs right know. Maybe going down and building some chemistry with say Kulich and Rousek

I'd swap him with VO, but there's no chance Donnie would do it.

That's the point, they can't ... they virtually waste 14:00 a night running around creating scoring chances and strong puck possession metrics on a line with 20 goals a season. There is utility there in wasting opponents time...would be nice to capitalize though.

Really? So when the sabres passed on Zegras, Boldy, Poldkozin, Caufield they thought they were getting a 3rd liner?

Zegras was said to be the best offensive player at the draft. They thought hey lets take a grinder instead? Go back and watch the draft. See the whole picture man.

One has 11 goals and the other has 0.

Of course meats balls would not do that.

Agree, been saying they need to go away from the traditional 4th line. Bring up Rousek and
Yost Krebs Rousek you have some offense, some grit on both wings, Rousek has a great shot, and Yost and Rousek play a solid 200ft game. Plus they can all fly.

When Cozens was drafted he was considered an elite prospect

Do you people even watch the draft or pay attention to prospects?

any of this poop make sense

As much as i wanted us to draft Chychrun,
trading for him doesn’t make much sense to me

We can’t pay him AND Power & Dahlin,
so are we just gonna turn around & flip Chychrun in a year or so?

Keeping him long term would mean allocation of too much $$$ to the defense imo
It would screw us the same way that it’s screwed the Leafs spending all that Cap Space on forwards
Gotta be more balanced

And like we’ve said for years with Dahlin:
if Power is what we think he is, he won’t need an All-Star level partner, just someone who is solid


Just find Power his “Samuelsson”

Take it easy on the beers 69man. Work tomm

does is matter what is said at the draft? We have a 21 year old 2nd line center thats getting better and better each game. Seems like he is built for the playoffs.

Yes it does matter because its what you are arguing with me about. Clearly you are out of your league here. Why argue then?

You take it easy

Tonight:

Tage's line: 71% xGF%
Cozens: 76%
Mitts: 6%
Jost: 53%

Pretty much the norm lately. Getting 4th line minutes now.
