New Guy Posted June 22, 2019 Report Posted June 22, 2019 I appreciate all the links and analyses you guys have posted. I don't know jack about evaluating 18 year olds we won't see in the NHL for a while, but if the pre-draft and post-draft talk thinks it's a good fit, I'm satisfied as well. 1 Quote

Yes, he had a lot of assists, but I’m not seeing high end playmaking or passing skills from watching him. I hope he is able to continue creating chances for teammates at the next level. How is he getting those assists? Driving the net and creating havoc? On the cycle? Whatever it is, is fine with me as long as it translates to the NHL. Or were you saying his WHL coach? That’s interesting. I honestly like him a lot. I would love to see an analysis of how Cozens creates chances for teammates. Quote

Also his hands are way better than Zemgus stone hands Girgensons. I'm fine with Cozens, not at the top of my board, but OK. I've never really been happy picking 7, especially since Turcotte got to 5? is it? I haven't memorized the draft yet. Quote

Agree, but I think Dach’s shot is close and I think the playmaking is behind all of them. Skating is behind Turcotte and ahead of Dach. Maybe I’m wrongish. Quote

North Buffalo Posted June 22, 2019 Report Posted June 22, 2019 Better 2 way player than Dachs... Quote

Probably haven’t watched enough full game footage to give an opinion I’m 100% confident in, but..........I think it’s good, uses his size to protect puck decently well, not afraid to get into the dirty areas in corners and net front. I think he will be a lot more physically impactful when he hits 6’3” 205 instead of 6’3” 183. He has the mentality to be a real physical force when he gets that much stronger. 1 Quote
LGR4GM Posted June 22, 2019 Report Posted June 22, 2019 Just saw Cozens joking around with Hughes. Love that stuff. Quote

French Collection Posted June 22, 2019 Report Posted June 22, 2019 I like this kid. May end up on the wing if the centres end up being Eichel, Mitts and Asplund. Quote
... Posted June 22, 2019 Report Posted June 22, 2019 You know what, watching these interviews, he strikes me as a tall, thin Sidney Crosby. Obviously not as a player, but in looks, sound, and demeanor. Quote
... Posted June 22, 2019 Report Posted June 22, 2019 I'd say the take-aways from that are the math, prefers documentaries, and likes Country music. 1 Quote

I'm reading some people compare him to Jeff Carter Just watch the interview with Duff. He did well in math in school and likes "math". Just a little - I say, little - insight into his psychology.
