Goes to explain some of his play, overall he had a good season for us

The fact the phrase "We need to go out and find another Cole" resonates this offseason tells us all we need to know about his contributions here.  He had a rough series against the Oilers, but now we know why given the ankle.  His leadership and experience is more of what we need moving forward.  All the best to him!

Big reason for our turnaround, now we need to find a solid physical 18-19 minute guy who can play both sides and kill penalties. Even if we sign up all our current defenders we'll be down a big one in Cole. Absolutely can't bring him back, but we need to maintain our defensive depth.

His age started to show late in the season. He did good work for Edmonton. But I blame coaching more than him. It was clear he needed to come out. People will bring up that one gaff by Juulsen. But Cole had 2 goals and 4 assists for Edmonton. Incredible secondary production. We should have sat him.

If this was the case then the coaching staff should have ran with Juulsen until his stiches were healed.  Juulsen made some errors, but not to the extent that Cole did...

Cole had better numbers than Petey and matched Miller point for point.  He'll probably get a 5-year extension from some team...

Nothing but respect for Ian. The guy played well for us in his role.

Like others have said, would be happy to bring him back - but he'll make more on the open market than we should conceivably be spending.
