7+6=13 Posted January 23, 2020 Report Posted January 23, 2020 Please God let this young man be one of the many answers we need. 3
PerreaultForever Posted January 23, 2020 Report Posted January 23, 2020 I watched all of the world juniors and what I really liked about this kid (and I've read similar things about him) was his attitude and what seemed like genuine enjoyment. He goes right in front, bumps, grinds, takes a hit, gives it back, and all the while smiles and just plain loves it. Feeds off of the contact even. If this carries through to the pro level he is truly what we need desperately, and if he brings it, maybe it'll catch on.
LGR4GM Posted January 23, 2020 Report Posted January 23, 2020 He was giving a 10 day rest after the WJC. Cozens currently has 24g, 29a, for 53 points in 33 games. That is a 1.61ppg pace for the season. Pretty good.

LGR4GM Posted January 23, 2020 Report Posted January 23, 2020 I think the conversion is like .31 for the WHL... so roughly 40points (+/-3.5) if he played an 82 game season. 1
French Collection Posted January 24, 2020 Report Posted January 24, 2020 Cozens scoring rate in the last two years: 137 pts in 101 games, 1.36 ppg. Reinhart scoring rate in his last two WHL years: 170 pts in 107 games, 1.59 ppg. Dylan Cozens scoring rate should continue to climb this season and approach Sam’s.
LGR4GM Posted January 24, 2020 Report Posted January 24, 2020 Interesting too is that in Reinhart's 3rd WHL year (his draft season) he had 1.75ppg and in Cozens 3rd WHL year (his draft +1 season) he has 1.61 1

Cozens turns 19 more than halfway through his draft +1 season. Different playing styles but they do have similar numbers.

No, Reinhart was 18 for most of his draft season. 19 for most of his draft+1 season. I think you are off by a calendar year.

French Collection Posted January 24, 2020 Report Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) Thanks for the correction. Sam was a bit older than his draft peers due to the late birthday. The majority of the picks in his draft year were 1996 kids, that is where I got mixed up. I was looking at Kirby Dach’s stats, 7G 7A this season with the Blackhawks. He was comparable to Cozens in junior. Many people would be complaining if the Sabres had kept Cozens and he was producing those numbers. Edited January 24, 2020 by French Collection

Curt Posted January 24, 2020 Report Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) 23 minutes ago, French Collection said: What I’m trying to say is that Reinhart was drafted a year later than a lot of his peers. He was born in 1995 but was drafted in 2014 due to his late birthday (Nov.). He was 19 in November 2014, one month after the season started. His draft year, 14-15 was mainly as a 19 year old. But it’s not true. 2014-15 wasn’t his draft year. His draft year was 2013-14. He turned 18 early in the season of his draft year, not 19. Reinhart does have an early-ish birthday for his draft year, but nothing out of the ordinary. The cutoff date is September 15th. Sam was born November 6, 1995. He turned 18 on Nov 6, 2013. He was drafted in June of 2014. He was 18 when he was drafted. He was 18 when he made his NHL debut in October 2014. He turned 19 on November 6, 2014. No players turn 19 during their draft season. They are all 18, or 17 when drafted. Assuming they are picked the first year they are eligible. Edited January 24, 2020 by Curt

I’m just saying that most of the guys in Sam’s draft year were born in 1996. He was born in late 1995 so his eligibility was 2014 draft.

Reinhart was not uncommonly old when drafted. He was almost 2 months from the cut off date.

North Buffalo Posted January 25, 2020 Report Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) So 57 pts in 34 GP... if he keeps this pace up could get to 2.0 per pts game Edited January 25, 2020 by North Buffalo
LGR4GM Posted January 25, 2020 Report Posted January 25, 2020 Keep in mind the last 2 games have been against bad whl teams. He should score there.
DarthEbriate Posted January 25, 2020 Report Posted January 25, 2020 I'm disappointed that Lethbridge doesn't have a road game at Seattle or Everett this season. (I don't like this whole JBOT-avoids-the-WHL/CHL-in-general as it clamps on my style of going to games to give Sabres prospects the macrobinocular test.)
SDS Posted January 25, 2020 Report Posted January 25, 2020 I respectfully request that we do not pile everything about one player into a single thread. His contract, his development, injury status, charity work, whatever... are all distinct topics that deserve their own space.

woods-racer Posted January 26, 2020 Report Posted January 26, 2020 Brawndo is making me feel all warm and fuzzy on a cold winters night with this talk. It's that or it's late and I've enjoyed a nice jigger of scotch.
