You said in your previous posts that Dach projects to be the same as Cozens. Then you say he projects as a 60 point C this year if he stays healthy. Cozens was 2 shy of 70 LAST year. What basis do you have for saying Dach projects to be as good as Cozens exactly?
Buffalo scored probably 100 more goals than Montreal too though right? That's a factor. They're both nasty, I'd take Cozens due to his excellent long term contract but Dach has been great and looking more and more like the player he was drafted to be
Yes, They scored a lot more, due in large part to the 30 goals cozens scored while flanked by 2 rookies. Seriously, is the best argument to justify dach being as good as cozens really "well Buffalo score more goals..."
he was on pace for 50 pts last year on an absolutely shitty team. As the team and Dach improves he should be able to get to 60 this year. As he matures, there's a good chance (he's playing on 1st PP) that he gets to 65 pts in the next couple of years. Before you get hysterical, I don't think he's as good as Cozens.. But he's 6'3 and learning how to play a 200 ft game.
Why dont you? Caufield vs Cozens it wont end up the way you hope it will. Tiny winger vs big centerman who produce at a similar clip. Not only that Cozens is on a better contract and has a better track record.
100%… You win Cups up the middle, and build teams up the middle. Montreal fans can like it or not, but you don’t build teams around either one of the other two mentioned. Cozens is trending to be a foundational piece.
Habs say no, several times.
As requested
And we have 4 Cozen equivalents too. Other teams have 6. And some have 3 or 4 Caufield's too. What a dumb post.
Really you guys have plenty of guys who can play 2 way and put up nearly 70 points in season? Cozens also plays like 2 minutes less per game and doesn't rely on the PP like the Habs players do and that was with 2 ROOKIEs on his wing who put up like 35 points average last season imagine what he could do playing on a real top line. On top of all that he's relentless, fights, is a leader, and is easily one of our best PKers.
I was the third poster in this thread and I straight up said the Habs say no based on the value of caufield and dach for cozens. However, I disagree you would get f***ed trading caufield straight up for cozens and based on the poll, it seems like most other non-habs fans agree. The only ones voting that Caufield has higher trade value are habs fans. So either the habs fans are biased here and over valuing Caufield or every other fan is, for some reason, biased against the habs and for Buffalo. One of these is more likely than the other.
Suzuki will be a 70 pt 2-way C - and was missing Caufield for half the year.
Dach had 16 of 38 points on the PP while Cozens had 18 of 68 points on the PP that's a pretty big share difference.
Sure, aside from the fact that he has never scored 40 goals.
