Ducky Posted September 21, 2020 Report Posted September 21, 2020 Nice. I'm supposed to be going up there moose hunting in September of 2021 if the virus hasn't delayed it a year. 1 Quote
dudacek Posted November 18, 2020 Report Posted November 18, 2020 Two schools of thought on Cozens as Canada starts training camp: 1) he plays centre as part of elite size/speed/skill Canadian centre spine of Dach/Byfield/Cozens 2) he shifts to the wing again to load up the top six McMichael, Krebs, Lapierre, Newhook, Zary, Holloway, among the other centres, so some will be be definitely moving to wing.

Don't forget Quinn also starts WJC camp as well. I will be curious to see how those wings play out because there are not a lot of natural right wingers on that roster. Cozens shifting to RW would change some of that math. Quote

Quinn will be in a battle to make the team, but his rounded game will help him. I like that he doesn't have to be in a sniper's role to be useful — he can slot in a number of different roles and can move up and down the lineup. Cozens at centre improves Quinn's chances. The fact that hasn't been a Hockey Canada guy hurts him. The fact the coach is also his club team coach helps. Edited November 18, 2020 by dudacek 2 Quote
LGR4GM Posted November 18, 2020 Report Posted November 18, 2020 You mean Quinn with that last sentence right? I agree and think that Quinn will see a depth role because he is dependable on the PK and can also shoot insanely well. He's a multi-tool. 2 Quote

LGR4GM Posted November 22, 2020 Report Posted November 22, 2020 So excited to see Cozens on the Sabres (I would say in camp but idk how much of camp he will see with the WJC). 3 Quote
Zamboni Posted November 22, 2020 Report Posted November 22, 2020 Packing on get LBs is great. 13-15 pounds Is quite a bit in a few months time. Especially since we know it’s not Doritos, beer, donuts, and nachos 😂 1 Quote

Especially since we know it’s not Doritos, beer, donuts, and nachos 😂 That's probably over a year, no? Since last year's camp? He looks thicker. He was a rake when we drafted him. Size is not going to hold him back from the NHL this year. Quote

Could you and some of the other knowledgeable prospect posters give a comparison between Kirby Dach and Cozens? Are their ceilings in the same range? Quote

After reading your succinct analysis I think that Krueger has a tendency to favor players who play a more gritty north/south style which would lean toward a player like Cozens over a Dach type of player. Just my sense of the player type that Krueger would be more inclined toward. Quote
