Reminds me of when the Oilers traded away Brodziak the first time. Spent a bunch of years wishing we had a Brodziak. The pick turned into nothing as expected.This is a terrible trade . Cousins has developed the right way putting his work in , in the AHL and getting more acquainted and better in the NHL every year . He’s going to be a solid bottom 6 player and Montreal is dumb trading him away for a 4th.
And they can trade him away for.....PICKS!Probably only 1 will be an nhler

Cousins is insurance for losing Eakin. The funny part is, he has become an NHL player through hard work. That fits the Knights MO. Nosek and Stephenson’s play allowed them to move Eakin and save some cash. Cousins will fit in just fine.
The only downfall to the Knights over the last two years to the day almost, is they’ve used up all their draft capital. It’s almost imperative now they hit on 50% of their picks. Not only have they traded away Suzuki and Braanstrom but they’ve sent a lot of picks away. They still owe Detroit one more pick from the Tatar deal. Then they included even more futures a few times here.
That said, when you’re close, you go for it. The only good thing is most of the team isn’t overly old. But Krebs, Glass, Hague, Lesechym, etc have to hit. If they don’t, there’s going to be a lot of misery for a long time in 5-6 years.
But today, they got better. Just as they did last week. They’ve certainly made their case to be the odds on favorite in the West.
