I don´t think season like this we should call a good one, I imagine a good season differently. He wasn´t ready. He wasn´t strong on the skates, he was outmuscled often and his offensive ability/hockey IQ was mediocre. Yes I saw some positives, his skating or passion for the game. I project him as 2C/3C for the future and it´s not enough compared to Zegras who has PPG player future written all over him. Right now I have Mittelstadt vibes because after great WJC Cozens simply wasn´t ready and we didn´t expect the same thing again. Imo Mitts did a big step ahead this year and surprised me in a positive way instead of Cozens.
And yes you´re right I didn´t like the pick in 2019. In that moment Zegras was an absolute no-brainer for me and I was in shock for a long time they didn´t pick him. Remember it like it was yesterday.
