I’m not saying force him into the lineup I’m just saying If we want to make the playoffs he’s going to need to be good. He’s also shown way much more in juniors than mitts ever showed at Minnesota. I am almost certain cozens is going to be a very good player starting this year based on what I saw from him. Unless he has literally done nothing this off season but drink.
this year depends most on a few things...skinner getting back to form which i believe he will and cozens playing like a calder candidate, and us not putting a blind goalie in net.
this isn't exactly true. if a player makes his home base in florida as a lot of them do their income is based on that states rate. you see guys getting signing bonuses and those are usually the big chunks of their salary which would be at the florida rate. game checks get taxed in the cities and states they play in. as an example look at what new york tried to do with jeter years and years back. he claimed florida as his home so his salary wouldn't be taxed in new york. new york tried to go after him
saved cap space, got an actual center not a guy we want to be, former captain etc. this team can be good next year if cozens can come in and be a ROY candidate.
