He does not need to be exposed to a possible dreadful NHL rookie season with players who know only losing Dach is playing on a better team with past Cup winners that don’t want to suck and just won’t allow it. I mean, they've allowed it the last ~2.25 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way I wouldn't be surprised if he's pulling a 2013-14 Sam Reinhart - focusing less on playing WHL hockey and more on getting ready for NHL hockey. Yes, it’s good. He’s neck and neck with the league scoring leaders. Tied for 3rd right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 I see now. While I could understand the thought from a fan perspective, I would say that Cozens going down is good. There was talk that Casey might need another year in college which he never got. I think that would have been best for him because he wasn't physically ready for the NHL and still might not be. Cozens I think was not physically ready either. He is big and powerful and I doubt he is the listed 185 after seeing him at the prospect tournament and watching what I could this year of the WHL (2 games lol) but either way he has the opportunity to grow physically and mature his game. At least they didn't pull a tage and bring him up and watch him sink for a year before realizing he needed the AHL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The physical part is really important, but mental aspects are just as important if not more. Nothing wrong with Cozens fighting to finish at the top of the scoring leaders in his league. We want him to act and believe like he's a scoring threat. Last year he was a good scorer, this year he builds that confidence ,becomes a leader and gets stronger physically. Sounds like a good plan.

shrader Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 Is it really that crazy of a thought that the 3rd overall pick is ready but the 7th isn't? Then again, 1.5 months of hockey doesn't mean that #3 is actually ready yet either. It's fun when a couple of writers blatantly try to stir the pot.

Top 3 players always have a much better chance at stepping in right away. Occasionally, a pick later, sometimes much later can sneak into a bad lineup. Not that I needed to tell you fine fellows.

Then there's that more NHL-ready guy but with a lower ceiling that might go later in the draft. Regardless, I think it's a slimy tactic by these writers to throw that comment out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 We should trade him. Him and Reinhart for Lucic. We need a solid physical player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let the kid grow. You don't have a chance to bulk-up during 82-game seasons, and that's what Cozens needs to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neal still sucks, but it is funny watching him score goals for Edmonton after not doing so for Calgary, while Lucic mopes about the ice incapable of playing hockey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
