I did overpay a bit, but Cogliano is a good young offensive player who will be going on the top line with Gaborik and St. Louis or on the 2nd line with Foligno. I look at this deal as a dollar saver as well as he's only getting 1.0 million for this season.

Cowen and Kassian are at least 3 years away from having decent ratings, if they make the NHL at all, and Betts is a decent 3rd line C, but I have 4 3rd line centers, so I could spare one.
