I know starting a guy like Cozens on the wing is the conventional line of thinking, and probably what they're going to do, but I really want to see if he is capable of playing center at this level sooner rather than later.

I agree with that top 9 setup at the moment.

One has to wonder why Dominik Simon's agent didn't use Girgensons as a comparable and only got 700k for his client, if he is indeed equal.

Supply and demand.

Girgensons is the better player but not $1.4M better.

We jumped the gun and overpaid

I think you'll see a lot of it in preseason, to see how he holds up.

Still like to see them sign either a Kahun or a Granlund to give them more flexibility and make that top 9 even more solid.

I think most agree here. It seems like an indefensible miss, and hopefully they learn something from it. It's not back breaking, but it was dumb.

That money would open up if a body is traded. Not sure where the extra cash is otherwise.

Agreed. There is a trade to be had with a Dman, but you'd hope they'd upgrade the goaltending with that.

I guess that's probably our top 9 then. And I've seen much, much worse in the last 9 years here.

Some big question marks and wild cards in that top 9.

I think the flexibility will come from casey, asplund and perhaps ruotsalainen

At least financially.

Hopefully Mitts is going to take his hockey career seriously. That's where vets like Staal and Hall come in. Teach these kids.

The problem is, you can make the case that 80% of the roster is over paid even if it’s by a small amount.

Each little bit adds up.

Simon took a step back in 2019, but 2018 Simon would be on par or better.

Depends on what version Calgary is getting

Great blog mike : 👍

Any chance mekar has a shot this year at making the big squad?

Where does he play (and players like him) , if the ahl isn't operating?

No time to post the 4th line? 🤔

Casey Nelson has signed a one-year, $700,000 contract with the Buffalo Sabres.
Nelson earned four goals and 12 points in 48 games with Rochester of the AHL last season. He led the team with a plus-18 rating. Nelson has four goals and 18 points in 93 career NHL appearances with the Sabres.

That's just the forwards
