Karl Cowensson
I has cheezburger
I'm going to start making a crow list. He's still going to turn into a good #3 possibly #2 d-man.
You definitely should.
Our fanbase is spoiled by the unbelievable development of Karlsson. Generally you have to be patient with young Dmen, they take longer to develop than forwards. Add in his injuries and Cowen is probably 2 years behind were he should be. He's still decent at a young age and getting better. I honestly still think his low end is a bigger Phillips, and he does have the size and shot to be something similar to Pronger or Chara.
Our defense as a whole has been terrible, hard to hang out one player in particular, they've all looked bad at one point. If it was only Cowen we'd could maybe throw him to the wolves. I just think as a whole we are asking too much of over the hill vets or very unexperienced D. The bright side at least is Cowen and Wier are getting better, and show a lot of potential, lets not give up on them yet.
