Can't wait for something to come completely out of left field no one saw coming at all.

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

One of these days people will actually watch Cozens and figure out he is not actually a center. One of these days...

I'm not saying we should give up a huge package for him, I'm not even saying I want him at full salary. But he hovers around 50% faceoff percentage. So calling him not a center isn't totally accurate.

You think faceoffs are all that go into playing center? Faceoffs are pretty inconsequential in relation to all of their defense responsibilities and what they are asked to do in transitioning play from offense to defense.

So an actual hockey trade for the Red Wings getting back roster players lol?

He's more of a center than Veleno or Ras..

What he said^

I actually wouldn’t hate this. Yes he is in a similar mold to Copp and Compher, but going into next year if we can get a legit 2C I wouldn’t hate copp-pageau-Compher as a shutdown line against tough matchups.

If we got him one of copp or compher have to be gone next season. Too many players coming and we can't have a 3rd line consisting of those 3 guys and putting soderblom etc.. on a 4th line

If kane returns

Kasper Larkin raymond
Debrincat danielson kane
Rasmussen pageau soderblom
?? Copp mazur

I'm all for cozens/Pettersson as 2c but If we got pageau and compher stayed danielson would be 4c which I think wouldn't be a good thing. He needs to play

Which is why I'd put him 2c if pageau was here ... anyways if we got him I don't think we can keep all 3 unless we're ok with keeping 1 or 2 of them on the 4th line but that's a lot of .money

Christian Dvorak was also one name mentioned... for defensive duties.

He has also good history at Faceoff dot.

I'm ok with a rental if it's a 4th to 6th rounder. Don't think mtl can demand alot for him

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Literal crickets. Can we do something?!

Berggren for Nyquist swap but with extra pieces going each way? Straight swap doesn't make much sense since having similar production but a 10 year age gap unless its part of something larger. Not like anyone has any real idea what Yzerman is even interested in doing...

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Most likely we will do nothing. I rather do that than a bad trade but I'm hoping for a few younger roster players.

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

Sounds like he's going to Minnesota. Oh no, we're missing out on the Nyquist sweepstakes

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

Lindgren to Avs. Would've been a great partner for Mo.

Lindgren is hot trash these days, stay away from infecting Mo with that.

Beyond hot trash. Makes Chariot look like Chara.

Why the f*** do we need his old ass here again? He's not a center. Literally no reason to bring him here.

Has he actually fallen off this much? Or is it a product of playing for the dysfunctional NYR organization? Because it seems like Miller and Fox are also having down years, and I find it hard to believe 3 of their 6 defenseman have all hit walls at the same time.

 

[Redwing66]

Larkin is about the only relevant center we have on this team - just won't win too many important games with Veleno etc... hope SY can get one more relevant piece for 2C - Not sure Danielson is that guy a couple more years.
