So, based on their ages this will still be an appropriate comparison to make next year as well. 👍 No. This is more of a “3-young-guys-that-are-the-potential-future-of-the-franchise-first-year-playing-in-league-together” type comparison.

nfreeman Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 I too think 55 pts is much more realistic for Cuzzie than 80 is, and that this line will cool off once the opponents get some film on them and start prioritizing defending them, and if and when the Sabres get back to being a team that generally gets the opponents' #1 goalies and A games. Still, I wouldn't be shocked if Cozens hits 60 pts. More importantly, it looks like there is a pretty good likelihood that Cozens will develop into a quality #2 C, which is a precious commodity in the NHL, and gives the Sabres a good shot at a strong C group generally, if Savoie, Kulich, Östlund and/or Krebs can develop into a good #3 C. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have some things to work on, but they're already putting up points *and* suppressing chances against. I'd like them be able to spend more extended times in the offensive zone instead of simply producing rush chances then falling back on defense. But overall they are really burning it up out there and chances are they will only improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the thing that sets them apart from other lines, especially with younger players, is they are, all three of them, defensively very good. I think it was Quinn that said in yesterday's postgame that they generate offense from sound defense. They actively participate in the defense, but also remember how out-of-joint all of the forward lines looked when we had our defensive injuries. You need sound defensive pairings and solid forward support to defend properly and quickly transition to offense. The Cozens line is a poster child for that. In general I do like that the Sabres often have a guy that will pull out of the defensive zone and streak down toward the opposing blue line when the Sabres get firm control in the defensive zone, and that the defenders know to look for the long bomb aerial outlet pass. I think that's generated a lot of offensive chances for the team. What sets the Cozens line apart is they are all so speedy that those long passes can quickly turn into 2- and 3-man rushes.

gilbert11 Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 He can thank me. I had temporarily added him to a fantasy team, then dropped him to activate a returning injured player right before he went on this point barrage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
