Boy you were negative on the Cozens deal and now you are dissing Zetterlund. Maybe give them some games and see how things shake out.

Im Not dissing. I said I liked the pick up and understand the price we paid

But he’s not guarantee. Nor am I in a rush to pay him 5 million a season

Frankly, Ostapchuk is going to be a good 4th line checking center but doesn't have much upside to be more than that, maybe as valuable as a Kastelic in his prime.

Gregor was a free wallet and decent depth player but basically we paid a 2nd and a 4th line Center for Zetterlund and a 4th round pick

That seems like a very good trade to me. I am very encouraged by Steve Staios, he seems to have the creativity we need to become more competitive. Since Dorion messed up the 2nd part of the rebuild, we really needed a guy that would find all kind of ways to improve the team and we might have that guy in Staios. Amadio signing is a bit meh and the Perron signing didn't work out so far but there was a lot of bad luck attached to it. The Chychrun-Jensen looks really bad on paper but the loss in value falls on Dorion's shoulders no doubt.

I hope Staios makes more positive trades and acquisitions in the future than he has done to date. His record so far as some not-so-good aspects as you have indicated.

Even the Ullmark trade, which looked good but not great before Ullmark signed a new deal, is not looking as great as it did early in the season with Ullmark's play not being so "great" at this time.

The Chychrun-Jensen trade does look really bad now with Chychrun's improved play in Washington. I don't blame Dorion for that; I blame the coach we had for not using him properly and Staios for making there Jensen-Chychrun trade rather than directing the coaching staff to change their ways. The loss in value was caused by DJ Smith and then the trade by Staios.

I agree the Amadio signing is meh and the Perron signing has not worked out. The Joseph trade to create and then waste the cap space was awful.

I hope the Norris-Cozens trade and the Ostapchuk/2nd round pick-Zetterlund trade work out well for us.

It will be interesting to see where Green employs Zetterlund: 2nd line LW with Cozens & Batherson or 1st line RW with Tkachuk and Stutzle.
