Cody Glass

2020-21 Stats (with Vegas): 27 games, 4 goals, 6 assists, 8 PIM, 4 PP goals, 14.3 shooting %

This acquisition has grown on me more and more throughout the offseason. Cody Glass still has a lot of upside at just 22-years-old and a former sixth-overall draft pick in 2017. Some people just seem to be giving up too soon on him.

I really like Glass’ potential to contribute on the power play and be an offensive scoring option on the third line preferably. Sometimes a change of scenery is all you need to find that breakout season, and again, he’s still so early in his NHL career.

Glass never really spent much time in the AHL with just 22 games in that league. However, Glass did spend extensive time in the WHL and once put up over 100 points in a season for the Portland Winterhawks in 2017-18.

Also, Glass actually brings some defensive promise as well. This could end up being the perfect landing spot for him here in Nashville. I’m looking for him to easily set some new career highs in his third season in the NHL.
