Totally understandable, but Cossa is a year or two away from just even cracking the AHL roster. Goalies' development cycle is very different from regular skaters. They just start to get good around 26/27 and may only get consistent starts around 24/25, so having Varly there makes their goaltending situation, at least for just this year, more stable. Also, you should be rushing goalies into a position that they shouldn't be in. Plus, I wouldn't put all my trust in Husso just yet, as he just broke out as a potential starter last year and can heavily regress over the length of his contract or even just this year. Look at what Detroit did to Ned. He was solid in Carolina but regressed in Detroit(I know that Carolina's defense was godly compared to Detroit's but still).

Let’s look at both sides of this:

To be fair, hawks fans have all had to swallow a great deal of pride because of the scandal. Kane and toews have even gone on record to defend stan bowman the person, which is just baffling to me. Yes, they committed crimes covering this up and those people deserve their own pit in hell. However, to his point, he cheers the players and that is an important distinction. We don’t have to love the people who run the team to love the players that represent it. Me personally, I hate everyone involved with the team now. I represent the side that is so disgusted I lost my complete love for the team.

Now the other side. I don’t care what religion, politics, etc. a person believes in, nothing breaks human instinct and emotion. While I was always taught “hate” is a strong word, I recognize a few things in life that inspire such an emotion. Sports is quite possibly the most significant. I don’t care if someone wishes ill will on another, especially if that other deserves it. The hawks truly deserve it. They ruined people’s lives. Plain and simple. Wishing that Ill will is not a defect of the person wishing it, it’s a reflection of someone wishing for some decency and good in the world.

Just my opinion. Neither side is wrong. Just passionate and opinionated.
