New Guy Posted June 22, 2019 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

... Posted June 22, 2019 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
