If he earns it, I'd be happy to see Cozens play for 9, but he better be absolutely lights-out if he sticks past that. The last thing this franchise needs is another rushed forward prospect.
I think he'll make the Sabres for at least a 10 game tryout. Unless he can impress playing on a scoring line, he should be sent back to juniors. I don't want him to waste a year of offensive skills development time playing on the 3rd or 4th line.Anybody think Cozens could make this squad? He looks good.

I’ve seen enough of Mittelstadt to know he doesn’t deserve a roster spot.
Neither does Okposo for that matter.
We need hungry wolves.
Wolves...pigs....Hungry wolves? Are you feeding players to them? I would suggest pigs, in a Bricktop moment.
I always loved Couzens game.Speed, size, already good defensively.I think if he is good enough keep him.I do think he needs to get stronger weight wise.As long as he plays regularly.Otherwise back to junior to dominate.Clearly an unpopular opinion. If Cozens can hang with the big guys, he should. What happened to Grigo should be a cautionary tale about what happens when a prospect clearly isn’t ready. It doesn’t mean that prospects are never ready. That said, from what I’ve seen, I think he probably needs to work on staying on his skates along the boards, but otherwise I’ve been super pleased with what I’ve seen. His skill seems to translate much better than I thought it would.
yep, I think he has a better hockey sense/IQ than he's getting credit for. Mentioned last night how well he thinks the game, do we know for certain if its only Buffalo or Ilves this year? could he opt out if they want him in Rochester, cause I think he has a chance to see time in Buffalo after some play in the AHL.Interesting to look at the stat-nics tweets about last night. Ruotsalainen from a stat side did well.

Just rewatched some of last nights game and ya, Cozens is already ahead of Mittelstadt. His skating is such a weapon. Really impressed with Tage and Lazar as well.Cozens is going to be our future 2C, you guys can continue to pine on your hopes for Mittlestadt but soon Mittlestadt will be an after thought for the center position. Either he will be relegated to the 3C or we trade him to patch holes.
Mittlestadt has never looked as good as Cozens has in pre season which is a already a telling sign on Mittlestadt.

No, I'm just confident he wont work at center and im hardly ever wrong about players. I've always said Mittlestadt will carve a career out on the wing in the NHL. What I'm pissed about is management not doing anything for an interim 2C and riding on the Hope's of Mittlestadt.I dunno, I sort of hope they both work out.
It’s not a matter of pining our hopes on one or the other. You sort of sound like you’re happy that Mittlestadt might not work out.

Tavares and Marner are playing.I assume it's our Varsity at Home vs Toronto's JV's tomorrow night....
