Player Discussion Dylan Cozens

[Cosmix]

Look at Cozens stats.

View attachment 989135

Where is the one place he has "underperformed"? Buffalo. Even then, he scored 30 goals and almost 70 points

• He led team Canada in points in WC last year. 2nd 2 years ago (after Batherson who led them in points btw).
• He led both tournaments in goals btw.
• He had double the points of next highest player in WJC putting up historic performance.
• He has killed it everywhere else.
• Reinhart the year he left Buffalo was pacing 61 points through 82 games. The year after in Florida he scored 82 points in 78 games lol.
• Eichel was denied important surgery by Buffalo. 2 years later he won the cup as playoff leading scorer.
• O'Rielly the year he left had 61 points in 82 games and -23(6th worst on the team). The year after he won cup and had 77 points and won the Selke.
• Cozens is just turned 24.
• He's only in year 2 of 7 year deal which could be hell of a steal in couple of years
• Makes less.

To be honest folks, I think this could be seen as one of the best moves in Sens history in a few years.

The only thing I'm worried about is his defense. He must shore that up. He is probably notably the worst among their entire top 6.

It might become one of the best moves in Senators history but it has a long way to go to match the Yashin trade to the Islanders for Chara and a 1st round pick that turned out to be Jason Spezza.

I visited Whitehorse many years ago. My sister used to live there.

I think cozens is better than pinto now and for the next while. We’ll see. Greig should move to the wing though.

Maybe; however, Greig might thrive as 4C where he would play against low skilled and AHL level players on other teams.

 

[Cosmix]

Is Cozens going to play C or RW? Does he replace Norris on the 2nd line C spot or does he replace Giroux on the top line & play with Timmy?

Do they promote Pinto to the 2nd line or leave him on the 3rd line C spot? Moving Pinto up might make room for Halliday on the 3rd line C spot & Ostapchuk on the 4th line C spot.

Tkachuk - Stutzle - Cozens
Giroux - Pinto - Batherson
Greig - Halliday - Perron
????? - Ostapchuk - Amadio

That Ostapchuk muse didn't last long.

He still looks like he can add a lot more strength and power, Cozens and Pinto in the #2/3 slots suddenly our forward group looks much bigger.

In a roundabout way we got our top 5 2019 back.

Only thing is Green has Grieg playing a lot for a while now. Has led the team in ice time a few times, in the 19-21 minutes with some regularity.

He's kind of the team's Swiss army knife. Not sure he would have the impact from the 4th line. Would definitely make it a really strong 4th line though.

Nice option to have that's for sure!

Dude had 9 hits, a career high lol

Hope he gets a career high in goals in the next game!

It is almost like he knew how Tkachuk plays and followed suit. Good way to start off with a new team by bringing a lot of energy.

 

[Icelevel]

If that's one of his bad games, they aren't going to like Norris...

Yeah they don’t! Lol
Already complaining about him after period 1.

Only 2 players from the Northern Canada ever scored in the NHL. Dylan Cozens and Jake Sanderson's dad.

I certainly did not know that.

I was thinking Gionta but he was northern US

Tootoo was at the 58th parallel, that's damn close to Whitehorse in terms of northern...

Churchill Manitoba is *way* more northern than Whitehorse. central and eastern Canada is colder and icy-er than western Canada at the same latitude. There's glaciers and tundra in the east at the same latitude that there's boreal forest in the west.

Oh yeah, I was just using north of 60 as a threshold, if we're talking about climate, or how isolated they are, it's a different discussion. Point being I would probably consider Tootoo a Canadian from northern Canada as well

Yeah I assumed you were saying he was also from north. I should've responded to the comment you were responding to instead.

Geoff had a solid career. Cool that his son plays for the team now.

I interpreted the phrase "northern Canada" in a narrow way thinking the Yukon, Nunavut and the Northwest Territories; however, I can see a wider definition to include the northern parts of BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, & Quebec but not Labrador.
