Zemgus being above Casey and Cozens, and Skinner being above Olofsson is probably worse than the memeshow that's going on over there lmfao...

Again, this is OPENING NIGHT lineup. I imagine they are going to protect Mitts and Cozens early on and figure out how they want the lines to flow. I also expect a lot of movement trying to find lines that mesh.

While Skinner isn't playing worth anything near his contract, he still provides more all around upside than Olofsson, who is a 1 trick pony. Cozens has enough skill to set Olofsson up in a good situation to score and they will be doing it against the opponents lesser lines likely.

There's at least more young promising talent on this team and fewer Zenon Konopkas tears of joy

Exactly yeah also super crucial to boost Jeff's stats to have a glimmer of hope of maybe moving his contract in future so this seems like a tactful lineup all told

Tho ideally he plays beside mittsy's playmaking

Maybe if they use zemgus and asply to soak up the d zone starts and tough QoC so they can let those two ^ boost up numbers etc. Lots of options. Challenging.
