C Dylan Cozens - Lethbridge Hurricanes, WHL (2019, 7th, BUF)

[RedWingsAllTheWay]

He is playing in the WHL playoffs in his 15 year old season and he has looked great. Currently has 6 points in 10 games.

 

[SpoolCat]

He scored the tieing goal in game 7 of the second round against Med Hat with about two minutes left. He also scored a beauty in game 4 against Regina, he swatted the puck out of mid air for it. Last game he was playing with the Hurricanes best player 20 year old Tyler Wong and hockey wise he's only 15.

Did anyone get a scouting report on this kid in the preseason games?

Interested to see what kind of role he'll get this year.

 

[Dirty Dog]

I think he is a bust, just poor control over the strike zone and way too streaky. Great power but nothing else.

Oh, hockey...

 

[SpoolCat]

Has 3 goals in 3 game so far

 

[CanCHI]

Did anyone get a scouting report on this kid in the preseason games?

Interested to see what kind of role he'll get this year.

First line winger plays centre occasionally as the Canes have alot of guys that take draws and really mix up the positions. In short if you play for the Canes in the top 6 be ready to possibly play C, LW and RW in any game at any time.

Is completely comfortable and easily the Canes most dynamic player, thinks the game far above the skill level of everyone on the team save for Georgio Estephan.

When he left for the Under 17's the Canes fell apart

Will be a top 3 pick in the 2019 draft easy.

NHL comparison: Bernie Federko

 

[landy92mack29]

Had a great start to the year then a slower middle but has exploded with 9 points in the last 3 games since the Barlage trade. Almost up to ppg now with 35 pts in 37 games.

 

[SpoolCat]

Had a hat trick tonight. The game hasn't even ended yet.

Had a hat trick tonight. The game hasn't even ended yet.

He now has 6 goals, 6 assists for 12 points in 14 career playoffs games.... And counting.

Pretty great totals for a kid who is only in his draft-1 year.

He’s my old friends little brother. Pretty cool to see this thread, rooting for the Kid!

 

[Hynh]

He won WHL rookie of the year today. Ended the year with 57 GP, 22-31-53 in the regular season and 16 GP, 7-6-13 in the playoffs. He now has 21 playoff points in 28 career games.

Ha, I looked up this thread cause my little brother is acquaintances with/the same age as him. Cool to (finally) see a Whitehorse kid make it to such a high level.

The north will finally have NHL representation again!!!

Watching this game tonight, I am very confident that he is going to be SO good. Wow.

Total package. Big. Fast. Smart. Skilled. Righty.

I have him as a top 3 pick in this draft, he's incredible.

 

[habsrule4eva3089]

The first elite player to come from the Yukon, if I'm not mistaken. Good for him!

 

[Hfbsux]

What a beauty of a player! I really like his game.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Player that impressed me the most vs Swiss at the Hlinka.. 3 zone all situation player , stands out every time he's on the ice

 

[Blade Paradigm]

I thought he was even better today against the Slovaks. He showed off some individual skill and zone entry abilities. He tried a few wide drives towards the opposing net, galloped from his own side of center a few times to take the puck up the ice, and weaved around with the middle of the offensive zone a few times with the puck on his stick.

He can be a dominant puck-possession player, especially at a height of 6'3''. He has also killed penalties for Team Canada at the Hlinka so far.

 

[Daneurism]

I'll be honest, from the highlights I saw, I didn't really see the top 5 hype. Big guys who who can skate and score are valuable, but I didn't see what separated him from similar guys.

I see it now.

The confidence, IQ, twitchyness of a smaller skill guy. I'm on board.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

My favourite player going into the draft coming up. I believe he's a combination of Jonathan Toews + Ryan Johansen.

 

[snipes]

Another strong performance against Sweden.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

If he has a good season, he'll go top 5. I wouldn't rule out that he could on merit be 1OA.

Centre wise he's second over all pick for me. Amazing two way forward!
