People are missing the point completely on this Cozens thing,

Will he be better elsewhere? Of course. Almost anywhere else is a real organization that will surround him with a real NHL caliber team.

Since Adams will NEVER build one of those…it literally doesn’t matter if we keep him. He’s not going to be good here. Unless he has another lucky shooting season and people pretend that’s who he is again.

Everyone worth anything on this team will be better elsewhere. Because they won’t have to play a line over their head with players two lines over their heads.

Adams has spent five years not fixing that problem.

Keep him…trade him…the team is going to continue to end up in the same spot until someone who knows what they’re doing takes the wheel.

How do you know he won't be good here? Didn't you say the same stuff about UPL & Mitts? How about we just keep a young player & try to add. Instead of the cycle of developing guys just to ship them off.

Would you prefer I say it won’t matter if he’s good here? Because you’ve ignored that entire part. UPL is good. Where are they with him? Mitts got good before getting shipped out. Team was shit.

Until a team is built…nothing will matter. And this GM is incapable of building a team. Also…Dylan Cozens sucks f***ing ass and has every year aside from one outlier shooting percentage that people need to let go of. How do I know he won’t be good? Because he never has been. He just had stuff go in one year. Unlike every other year of his career. And now, as a bonus, he’s a gigantic p***y who isn’t a center, looks slow, and is too stupid to figure things out.

Keep him. You aren’t going anywhere anyway. But at least you can see if he gets better on your 9th place at best team forever.

Is Kevyn Adams going to build a playoff team by the time Cozens can’t coast off his one outlier season? If you think no…what the f*** is the point of keeping him?

People want big change…but an overpaid, overrated third line winger played far above his capabilities actively costing them games…that’s a non-starter. Let’s get real.

I’d rather free up money they will spend and get back professional hockey players who aren’t so far in their own brainless head that they’re wasting their career. Because there are a dozen younger guys I’d much rather surround with that then have them turn out like Dylan Cozens.

Mitts was our best center before the trade and played well, this idiot traded him. Cozens wasn't very good last season, he's even worse this season, he's 37 points pace, Ruff doesn't want him at center anymore, he's terrible on PP and bad on defense, you can tell in games how much he lacks hockey IQ. Sure, we can wait forever for all these young players to get their tools together (not a given), but then we definitely won't make the playoffs. Look for hockey trades to shake up this roster, they're not going anywhere with this players.

What does similar caliber player mean?
What Adams expects he should be?
Its really hard to tell. Also he has well over 300 games so I don't know if his problems just stem from a wrong development path (forcing C, goal scoring) besides the pressure he was put in to be a 2C (huge contract after just one good season).


Adams must be excited that somebody is finally calling him

Considering his track record with Eichel, Reinhart snd Mitts he needs to be stopped before assaulting the team further.
