Quoting: KPM12
Lauzon is definitely someone Nashville overpaid a little for, I dont see him moving out but they probably should move him out.
Cousins was has actually been pretty good the last few yrs and i think both sides take that contract
Lyubushkin i will add an extra yr and a little more money. He would be a great fit for the D
The sissons/goodrow was a tough decision for me but Sissons just hasn’t been that great in a lot of the basic value analytics since Hynes has become the coach and I think Goodrow fits what Nashville does better. I think the rangers could definitely give up a little more bc goodrow is a little more pricey.
re: Lauzon -- NSH definitely overpaid, by a lot-- but they won't cut their losses yet. He'll most likely get a low aav 2-year deal, imo.
re: Cousins -- I have a feeling that spot can be taken by a rookie or someone already on the roster next season: Afanasyev, Parssinen, Luff, McCarron, Olivier, etc.
re: Sissons -- honestly, I'm not worried about his analytics as much because most it is just brought down due to NSH's awful PK. They need to fix that, and then his numbers will improve-- his even strength numbers (FF%, CF%, etc.) are fine for a 3rd/4th liner (better than Goodrow this year actually), and he's easily the best faceoff guy on the team. He also had great chemistry with Trenin/Jeannot (though I think Jeannot will play on a different line next season). I agree that Goodrow fits Hynes' style and system, but I'm not interested in actively pursuing him and that contract.
