Tough call. If that’s not enough to get Cozens then I think the price is too high. That’s a 30 goal scorer last year who is finally getting back into form, a first round pick and a prospect who, in a re-draft today likely goes in the first round or early 2nd round.
Not saying it’s too much but it is a lot for two guys that are big question marks at this point - Samuelsson is on a bad contract for what he brings at this point and who knows if Cozens returns to form - he hasn’t shown any hints of it in essentially 2 full seasons.
Would be sad to see Mews go because he is such a great prospect right now but I would probably say this trade is a decent gamble to take. It’s trading from positions of strength (wingers and right-shot, puck-moving defencemen) to positions of weakness (centres and left-shot defensive defencemen). It ends up getting the guy that Conroy covets most (Cozens).
