Analysis:

Cousins saw 11 games of NHL action last season, posting a zero in the points column. With Vincent Lecavalier expected to return to his familiar center position, the Flyers faced a glut of centers. Cousins will likely see more NHL action this season, though he'll have to produce some points to stick around.
