‘Adding another center should help Cozens’ development. While it’s admirable that he wanted to become a shutdown center shouldering the most difficult matchups, the Sabres would be wise to put him in more positions to use his gifts with the puck. Cozens led all Buffalo centers in defensive-zone faceoffs at 5-on-5 this season, according to Natural Stat Trick. He’ll learn and improve from the experience, but the win-now situation that the Sabres are facing should lead to changes with how they’re deploying players.’
