I know that Kozlov has been awful this year. I also know that he's been outspokenly critical of the coach (which is our job

).
Still, Kozlov has played here for a long time and has had a lot of great games for the Thrashers. This might be his last year in the NHL and it will almost certainly be his last as a Thrasher. I think he's earned the right to get on the ice one more time.
