You think?

Yaeger has been okay, but nothing special, Firkus is driving Moose Jaw right now. Benson looks to be a lot better prospect. Kemell, same, took a step back from last year's explosion. Lamoureux isn't very good. Cossa <<< Wallstedt. Broberg is already on the block. It seems like they'd be a step back to me.

The quantity certainly helps, but not sure just swapping out would yield the same group. Perfetti/Lundell over Quinn is the only one I'd switch up so far. How far back did you go?

Talk about taking a step back

The only reason UPL saw the net is because Levi failed.

That’s wasn’t even close to the plan.

They lucked into this. Lucking into something is not a plan.
- ImThatGuy

I never said it was the plan. I said the plan changed. Cause the player forced the change cause he played well.

If both had been bad they'd of just kept going back and forth. Levi stinking didn't force their hand to move him to the AHL. UPL playing so well did.

Levi stinks(ATM) and UPL is good. Said this before the season.

Yeah, still not sure I wouldn't take him over Quinn given his defensive abilities though.

And not getting to play with any of the big boys hurts. Luostarinen and Cousins as wingers leaves a lot to be desired. If I remember rightly he played a ton of time with Barkov or Reinhart, so some regression is understandable.

18pts in 41games in your third season.... Should be able to drive play. Cozens didn't play with desirable linemates parts of this year and he doesn't get the same excuse.

Peterka is a lot better than Cousins or Luots though and Cozo still took a big step back too.

https://frozenpool.dobber....com/players/dylan-cozens

Look at Cozo with Peterka/Quinn or Peterka/Mitts, then compare to everyone else. Sadly, if Dylan was playing with Rousek and Olo again, he's likely around that 20pt mark...if not lower. Remember, he just put up 7pts in his last 4 games. He was at 22pts in 42 games not long ago.

I agree that Lundell has slipped here, but I'd wager he'd return to form if he swapped lines with Bennett.

Luots is a bit older than Lundell also from Finland. Had a pretty decent year last year. More pts than Lundell.

Both might just be having some bad puck luck or nick Cousins is dragging em down

That's the most likely.

Cousins is just a rat player at this point. Luostarinen's usage was all over the place last year, but had a significantly better P60 score in the top6. Basically, E-Rod is getting that play this year, so the two youngins, with Cousins, are taking a bit of a dive. Personally, I think Lundell is the real deal where Luostarinen is going to stay a bottom 6er. I'll differ to the Rat's judgement.

Anyone think Parayko makes sense?

I’d put Cozens in the regression vs step back bucket. Injury hurt. It would be interesting seeing a full 75 game snapshot next year of a healthy Cozens playing all year with 2 real players

I think this is either going to be one of the games we look unstoppable or we’ve completely thrown in the towel after Quinn and Samuelsson and we won’t show up the rest of the way

The only reason UPL saw the net is because Levi failed.

That’s wasn’t even close to the plan.

They lucked into this. Lucking into something is not a plan.

and comrie failed

games 1-4 levi

I think these boys hit the beaches harder than they’ve hit an opponent this season.

The Sabres are known to start slow.

They learned they lost Sammy on top of Quinn

They have to play with Okposo.

Take the L and let’s listen to Granato mumble post game about some garbage….rinse repeat next game

if power is worth 8 plus, parayko is worth 6.5

better even strength points this season than power
plus player on a blah team this year
gets 23 minutes of ice time a night

plays RD

they need to get a few decent players with all of these assets IMO
