Player Discussion Nick Cousins (C)

Cousins has performed very well since being elevated to the 3rd line, I find he is finally feeling comfortable and finding his strides that made him a useful bottom-6 player for the champ Florida Panthers. He would always be called for penalties as he plays with an edge as a pest, but these types are useful for playoff hockey where someone snaps and gives you that powerplay that may tilt a series.

Keep going Cousins, will be interesting to see how the lines are formed when Perron is back.
 
He’s a completely different player than the first couple months of the year.
Seems much quicker, makes a lot of very smart plays all over the ice.

He’s just a good player.
 
So this could be a case of an LTIR that would create room in our cap (albeit very small) for an acquisition and could rejoin just in time for the playoffs. We could pull out a mini-Vegas!
LTIR doesn’t create any cap space, other than some relief while player is out.
If out for season, then can look for a replacement.
