These videos are garbage.   The intent is to show collaboration and an organization with a plan.   

I see scripted messaging.   Still waiting for results.

Yeah, it's scripted PR nonsense for the most part. But there were a couple things I took from it.

Lindy sound bite on culture. He clearly thinks the locker room is immature. 

The constant use of the word 'intelligence'. Methinks they really disliked cozens mental makeup.

Still from 2019 draft, not sure besides Boldy and Caufield if there are players we could have picked better behind Cozens.

Time will show how he adapts in Ottawa, but his first minor stint showed the same flaws as in Buffalo.   Maybe he needs a summer to adjust.

As for Norris,  He is a 2C for me , hope he doesn't get injured too much.   A 70 game season with 60 points  is probably a win for us

To answer the OP question, they traded for him so they obviously plan on getting him healthy and playing him. End of story.

I'd put him at 2C and Tage back to 1C.  I like the minutes at 2C better for him with his injury history.  I think he's one of the more important players for us in terms of needing him to fill a void.

In that video, their doctor apparently reports that he's 100% comfortable with him, no issues.  

He plays 3 games then misses the rest of the season w/ injury? 

Should that be concerning?
