You think they will sign 2 year bridge deals ? It’s in our best interest to lock them up and pay up.

In what universe is Cozens a comparable to Coronato? Cuz they are both 1st round picks?
When Cozens signed his deal, he was a 21 year old who had played 200 NHL contests and averaged .6 pts a game or 48 pts a season.
Coronato is already older than Cozens was at that point and has played 68 games at a pace that averages out at 34 pts a season.
Not to mention the respective positions they play.
Coronato has a long long way to go to be even thought of in a 7M a year way.
Also, even if Cozens tops out at a 50 point guy (there is still a ton of room to get better there IMO) that is not a 3rd line player. 60 C's hit that mark or better last year....less than 2 per team. So how is that "3rd line" production?
Also also....you think the Avs just decided to sign Blackwood on the 4 games he had played for them??
Or maybe, just maybe, they have been scouting him and watching him for a few years now and THAT is what swayed them to trade and sign him to some term?
