It's nice to see someone doing it without needing to be told.

I’ll be crucified for this, but I believe Cozens is the reason Botterill doesn’t feel any desperation to spend assets on a 2C. 

He won’t fill that role this year, but moving forward he might be the answer

You might be right about this. I'd like to see him stay and play 4th line this year (to start).

What is the point of keeping a player up here to play 6 minutes a night? He is NEVER going to develop like that. If he is a top 6 forward then you send him down until you can give him top 6 minutes and he has earned those minutes.

Is it wrong to have liked Lazar's game so far? He was the butt of a lot of jokes in Ottawa. 

I haven’t seen any reason yet why he can’t fill a Larsson/Girgensons role with similar effectiveness. His game seems to have the same strengths and weaknesses.

And I’ll be crucified for not jumping off the Casey bandwagon yet, but I will be surprised if one of those two doesn’t evolve into a good 2C. Unfortunately, you’re right, it won’t be this year. But it is a reason for caution about overspending when we’re shopping.

Lazar has looked good tonight, so far. 

Cozens looks well ahead of schedule. 

Tage seems improved 

Agreed on all points.

I won't shoot the messenger, but if that is Botterill's thinking, he probably won't be employed long enough to reap the benefits even if he's right.
