Can’t see KK signing that deal for that long, but it doesn’t matter as we aren’t packaging them two together

I see where you're going, I'd add more grit to the forwards, especially the middle 6. I don't think adams will do it either, but I think its necessary to take the next step. I don't think you can run kulich out as the 3c, he's got the same defensive deficiencies as Thompson and cozens. Sturm will help, but I think you've still gotta add another two way center. I think it's reasonable to say that you want 3 scoring lines, unfortunately somebody has to pk and take d zone starts, and if your top 2 centers are lacking, you've gotta do what makes sense.

I don't disagree with anything you're saying. I don't think Kulich has much left to prove in the AHL and with Roy, Sturm, and Hayton in the bottom six, one of them could easily be your 3C and then put Kulich at the wing. I would like Kulich to be a center long term, but he may the one they shift to wing and he can be more free of the defensive burden of center. I'm hoping (as we all are) that Ruff can turn Cozens in the the two-way center we all know he can be. I think he will benefit the most from Ruff's hiring. Either way, I bet the bottom six will see the most amount of experienced players added.

All great points. If we are gonna find a good two way center, my guess is ostlund, but as he just came over, gonna take some time. Yes, I'm hoping ruff is able to really develop cozens two way game, a healthy Quinn should help cozens line, if not cozens himself.

I think Granato really put an emphasis on making Quinn a good two-way forward, and you're spot in with him helping Cozens get back to what he was. I think Ostlund is going to the best two-way center of the bunch, but his draft classmates will probably in the NHL sooner. It is a good problem to have, but I wouldn't be surprised (and it is what they should do) if they moved one of those three or Rosen this summer.
