NICK COUSINS - Center - 26 - $1MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2020-2021
LAST UPDATED 7/23/19
Cousins, a free agent signing by Montreal, had a career-best season with increased ice time on an injury plagued Arizona team, despite seeing his shooting percentage fall from 10.1% to an unsustainably low 4.9%. While his faceoff abilities aren't incredible, Cousins is a versatile, "Swiss Army Knife" type player. He can play all three forward positions, chip in on offense if needed, and agitate and hustle in a bottom-6 role. Given his lack of high-end offensive skill, Cousins should not be trusted in an offensive role long-term, but Isolated Impact metrics say that Cousins is a decently positive play driver for 5v5 offense, and a moderately strong defensive presence. He's a well rounded two-way player, and should hold his own as Montreal's 4C.
