So, what's the opinion of Sens fans on Cowan now?
Cuz Kadri's pretty awesome.
- Schenn-Sational!
A lot of Senator fans may not be taking into account his most recent hip surgery, and the fact that he did come back too soon last season, and that lead to a lot of rehab during last summer. As a result he did not "train" in the normal sense for this season, and then he sat out the whole training camp disputing his contract.
He was not prepared for this season, and has been catching up all season long, and has at times been the worst player on the ice as a result.
He needs to dedicate himself this off season, and come back strong for the next season, and then we can see if this season was a harbinger of things to come or not.
Don't forget, he was rushed, in my opinion, into the NHL. He only played 3 regular season games in Binghamton, and 10 playoff games as well. As of today, he has yet to play 150 games in the NHL, and as everyone realizes, D-Men take a bit longer to develop, and that's why I think he should have spent more time in the AHL, as Kadri (119 games) did.
Kadri has slipped in well to the second line center position, and gets a little more room to manoeuvre because the opposition is focusing on the first line, and he's taking advantage of that.
