I like copley, it's outside the box thinking

VAN accepts

Why are we taking Sutter.

Why on earth would u sign Perry for 3yrs???
That’s brutal

Hagelin & Sutter..... yuck
Just bring back Girgs & Larsson for about half the price

Helps vancouver with cap

Perry is exactly who needs to be raising Cozens, Give me more. Hagelin is a much better PK forward than both, and Sutter is fine but is more to facilitate Virtanen

Montour for Virtanen is fair enough

Yes but it does strain them cap wise, so they may not be inclined to do the trade

Virtanen and Montour are gonna make the same. Both around $3-4M. Heck ill take Sutter but we need to get a pick back. At least a 3rd.

Explain why Staal can’t “raise” Cozens?
Makes more sense too, as he is a Center & Perry a wing

Staal and Perry play completely different styles, and theirs 0% chance Id start Cozens at RW so Staal and Cozens wouldnt be on a line

Staal can’t mentor him unless they play on the same line?

Also, there is talk of Cozens starting on the wing.
I would t play him there either, but it’s not our choice.

Staal as a vet Center makes A LOT more sense as a mentor than Perry (a winger) does.

And Perry plays nothing like Cozens.
He’s not needed as a mentor in any way with Staal here

Not on ice and not in the style of play. Cozens needs to play hard and use his body along with his skill, something Perry did at that age, which is how he got that cup ring. If youre talking about locker room we have Staal, so whats your point, to make a weird gaslighting arguement? The more leadership the better

My point is that Staal can mentor Cozens just fine
Perry isn’t coming here, and we don’t need him

He probably wont, but Buffalo absolutely does need players like Perry, we have enough soft analytical darlings

Just make it a guy about 10years younger
Don’t need to be giving guys his age 3year contracts either
