Besides, I would be shocked if GMPV gave any of them even a 7 year deal!

not a chance until we try Mctavish with a different coach

I wouldn’t be opposed to trying to get cozens some other way though. If we were a little better I’d trade our first or a combination of prospects for him at the draft

Fair point.

 

[duckpuck]

Fair point.

Would you rather have Cozens or EP?

It's probably time to trade Dumoulin to play our LHD prospects every game. Hopefully Verbeek is smart and pulls the trigger when a decent waiver pickup is available to fill our 7th spot and not play Luneau who I don't think is ready and needs more AHL playing time.

I don't think GMPV is going to sell Gibby this year. It's very unlikely that a team takes most of the cap hit, or willing to pay that premium for max retention. I only see Carolina as a possibility but historically they don't invest as much in goal. They will probably go with a cheap route like what the Avs did with Blackwood. Kotchekov would be interesting to give Dostal a decent young/cheap competitor, and they do have some good prospects to offer... and it would be cool to see Gibby play in the playoffs again.

Cozens wbu?

Cozens wbu?

I think I prefer EP, but he's older (not old) and more expensive, so I can see the logic of Cozens. Ultimately, I think EP is the better player so that's who I want. I don't view the contract as a problem.

Can’t argue against that. Just don’t think EP with all the rumors around him and miller being clubhouse problems is a guy PV would like. Cozens is big fast and can play mean. He has a 31 goal season under his belt, cheaper and younger

Yep, he's been solid for us but it's time to make that move. Zell can't be sitting like this, nor Minty in his place. We have four good young D who need to play, and Trouba/Gudas is enough veteran insulation now. Zell does so much for us with his skating ability in terms of gaining ground in possession, we need him playing every night. Just find a cheap capable 7th D and we have our six regulars.
