Time to swap him with Reinhart on the top line.

The top line has a bunch of chance creators and nobody who can finish right now.

Swapping Cozens with Reinhart gives that line a more adequate shooter.

Reinhart can drive the 2nd line

I keep seeing this and it makes absolutely no sense. Last year he averaged 3.33 shots per game, this year he's averaging 3.83.

Edit: He's also averaging half a shot attempt per game more than last year.

Opportunities? More of them this year.
I think Opportunities is a better measure than shots taken as the comparable

Cozens is a more adequate shooter than a guy with four 20-goal seasons in 5 years? Disagree.

I feel bad for that guy. Hockey (frank)ed him up bad. Its never good when parts of your brain are getting 5% oxygen

Hell of a player though

(frank)ing Bettmen. Didnt the NHL just allow Hutton to finish out a period with a concussion. What a joke.

Cozens has a better shot than Reinhart.

Because one has played 6 seasons, and the other has played 6 games has nothing to do with it.

The shot was fine but my god. Track it. It wasn’t screened or anything. It was a straight shot no screen or anything

Even if that's true, which is far from proven, the numbers all say the Hall-Eichel-Reinhart line is creating chances at an elite rate. You don't break that up simply because the pucks aren't going in now. They will go in

So far then, they are yielding 1.02 more goals than our average.
We can anticipate a mych better performance for the rest of the game to get back to their average.

We are averaging one goal against per game that is inexcusable for an NHL goalie to let in

Thompson has probably the best shot on the team. Having the best shot means d¡ck if you can't put the biscuit in the basket.

"Who has a better shot" is a dumb argument.

Literally the only thing that matters, regardless of draft position, is "is he a good player?".

I think our best top 6 right now:

Hall-Eichel-Cozens
Skinner-Staal-Reinahrt
