Peterka - Thompson - Kulich Greenway - Norris - Tuch ..good? Is there a stylistic fit here? it’s lacking playmaking. Peterka and Tuch I suppose

Cozens was one of the few players on this team I sorta liked so that aspect is a downer

If we run a Tage - Norris 1/2 c unit the playmaking will need to come from the wings in

Just a poor match with Tage

Yep, happening both ways

Such a good point he’s dealing the guy he overpaid

He’s fine. The trade is fine. It’s probably the biggest move we see before puck drops 25-26

Dahlin?

The trade makes sense imo. It just falls into the categories, for me of A) too late b) too little: re - doing anything to mitigate my opinion of the GM a shake up type trade is wise, on its face

Sabres were the only team ok with giving him the surgery The opposite

No one said it was literally nothing but by all means run with a narrative I’ve corrected twice

We aren’t spending to cap so extra cap is irrelevant to them

I will say it being a hockey trade makes sense, we shouldn’t be trading for picks. It would have had to look like a steal to me, though, for my positive feelings re: the deal to be strong enough to outweigh the disappointment this deal represents in terms of what it likely foretells for Adams’ future

Combined with greenway we aren’t the healthiest roster

Confirmation Adams is back almost assuredly

He just dealt Cozens, he’s back next year. sadly if I stick to my word I shall not be

We have a type and I hate it Can we get a playmaker in here

Yes we’ve essentially traded Cozens for Cozens. I don’t hate it but not a needle mover

Again, Cozens is also a 30 goal scorer. Can’t the analysis go beyond “hey look at his db page”.

If you listen to sens fans he IS cozens. Essentially this would be me saying “cozens has 31 points, not nothing”. Their points production is similar. And we need playmaking more. Really, a strength of neither Reading comprehension can be hard

Didn’t say it was. But my point remains true

Another shoot first C, too

Consensus seems to be not so good online. I get that you would be ecstatic if we moved Cozens for literally nothing haha

I agree. It’s a “best case scenario the deal and player/role asked of him (relative to winning) is reasonable” type deal. And the floor is lower
