10 goals?  jesus

Danielson out for todays game (no update yet) and Tuomisto demoted to the second pair. Danielson has looked great, and his offense has been consistent and noticeable. I’ve also liked Lombardi, Sodorblom, Hanas, and Wallinder. Kasper has generated so many quality chances but hasn’t finished yet. He needs to work on his shot and then he’ll be okay.

[TLGTrico 637]

Yeah Cossa is not the goal of the future.  We really need Trey Augustine to be an absolute gem

Cossa's going back to Toledo isn't h

[diehardredwingsfan58 154]

Cossa has given up 14 goals in this Tournament, Including 6 today in less than 1 1/2 period. The guy is a major joke. Yzerman made a major mistake not taking Jesper Wallstedt instead.

[bIueadams 776]

Biggest whiff of the Yzerplan?

[bIueadams 776]

If Cossa is a dud, here is the resulting trade tree:

To DET: DAL 1st (Cossa)
To DAL: WSH 1st (Johnston) + NYR 2nd (Grushnikov) + OTT 5th (Bar)

To DET: Vrana + Panik + WSH 1st (Johnston) + WSH 2nd (Buchnelikov)
To WSH: Mantha

To DET: Staal + NYR 2nd (Grushnikov)
To NYR: Futures

To DET: Verbeek + OTT 5th (Bar)
To MTL: Merrill

To DET:

So in exchange for Mantha, Staal, and Merrill...
We got back: Cossa and Buchnelikov

If Cossa is a dud, Buchnelikov better be pretty good, or we seriously lost these trades.

f*** that. 

He shouldn’t have taken either goalie in the first round. Way too risky as we’re finding out now.

Step back from the ledge fellas. It’s a prospect tournament. Let’s maybe see how he looks after a year in the AHL. He is, after all, 20 years old.

You guys are so reactionary. Vile Jusso didn’t play an NHL game until he was 26 years old. Didn’t become one of the leagues 32 (maybe fewer) full time starters until he was 27. We have an example of why we shouldn’t panic on OUR team right NOW. 
 

Goalies can take time. Relax.

Exactly.  Cossa looks this bad in a prospect tournament.  The competition he faces is only going to get better from here.

[bIueadams 776]

Cossa is dead to me

VILLE HUSSO? 
 

Goalies like that can be had for 3rd rounders. 
 

Yzer-dink wasted a first on Cossa. 
 

Probably cuz dumb dumb Draper liked his character or something.

Draper is lucky Mazur has been good so far, otherwise I'm less than impressed

Not to mention our defense in this tournament amounts to 6 traffic cones.

I’m going full @mackel on Cossa and I won’t shut up until he’s a corpse.

Yeah, I'm not not too worried. I do agree that he better have a solid year in the AHL this year though because eyes are definitely on him now.

I respect this...  be warned it's a dark path.  If you're eventually proven right, only a few will acknowledge it... the rest will re-write their own history.

Dude, 'a few' is basically 75% of this board. Hold your head high

Wallinder basically needs to carry the defense at this tournament. The rest of the core sucks. Gibson? Looks like another typical Drapes pick. Tuomisto is not good. He only played 10 min a night at university and then quit uni for that very reason. I don't see that anything has changed.

 

Cossa is starting to upset me. I haven't given up on him, but the amount we sacrificed to get the assets that we ultimately traded to get him stings.

IMO, trading up in general is always a bad idea. Costs too much to obtain a slightly better lottery ticket. But I trusted SY on that one since he's been so good so far. But this might bite him. Yzerman's humanity EXPOSED.
