another fourth liner who tries hard but has limited skill.

he'll fit right in on the first line here.

grand rapids gets beat again.

cossa finishes with the worst save % on the team this year (he finished ahead of augustine, but he just got there so we'll cut him some slack).

meanwhile, jesper wellstadt just started a playoff game and gave up 1 goal to dallas.  #yzerplan.

And Montreal beat Tampa with a 5th rounder from the draft before Cossa’s in net.

Curious why you think he has limited skill?  He scored 21 in 40 college games...and he's a very good skater.  I think he profiles as a bottom six wing and PK

he scored 20 goals as a 22 year old playing against players younger than him.  if he has any nhl ambitions i would expect him to do that.

i dont think he gets his goals through speed, stick handling, great passing, or high end "skills," i think he gets them by charging to the net and being physical.

that's great.  the nhl is full of guys like that.  but he's not particularly big, not particularly fast, and doesnt set the game on fire by being more skilled than others.

he's carter mazur.  a plugger.  the world needs pluggers, but the world needs another alex debrincat more.
