what makes u think Cozens isn’t ready?

He’s one of the top ranked prospects not in the NHL, and literally everyone is saying they think he’s ready

How many games did u watch of Cozens this past season??

Ready is a relative term. Ready for what kind of role?

you are going way off the deep end now, aren't you. you're smarter then this.

And u should be smart enough to realize that Larsson & Girgs are good defensive players

This is the same BULLSH!T argument ppl used against O’Reilly
It was STUPID then, & it is now as well

Girgensons stinks, same S$$T different day. We have done nothing with either player for years but let's keep both.

I've heard all this before with Mitts, how did that work out.

What about Hanifin’s game do u like?
- jdfitz77


Fits a 2LD position. Young. 4 years at 4.95 left.

Let Ralph fix his Fancy stats and away we go.

“Hanifin played a ton in 2018-19. He was healthy for the entire season and played in every game, aside from a pair of healthy scratches at the end of the season after the Flames had their playoff positioning sewn up. He was second on the team in even strength ice time and third on the team in overall ice time.

Overall, Hanifin was a tale of two sides of his game. Offensively, he was dynamite: he was second or third in virtually every offensive rate statistic – shots, attempts, scoring chances and high danger chances – but dead last among regular blueliners in the shot suppression rates. He’ll obviously need to work on that aspect of his game, but that’s precisely why he plays with Hamonic and why the veteran is so valuable as his partner.”

How many games of Cozens did u watch from last year?

Basing whether or not he is ready on what has happened with other players is dumb
There’s no correlation

I’ve watched cozens 7-8 times this past year. If he’s on the Sabres.... he should play right wing to start.

If the Sabres want him to only play center ..... start him in Rochester. It there is an ahl season

No Rochester for cozens. Juniors or
Sabres are the only options. Silly goofy age thing...

I thought this was his graduation year from juniors?

Well that sucks.

So right wing to start cozens out on the Sabres. Gradually work him in at center. He does have experience on the wing in juniors FYI

He can’t play in Rochester
It’s either the Sabres or Juniors

Everyone is saying he’s “ready”
I haven’t watched him play
But I’ll go off that over what ppl who haven’t even watched him (not you) think

Jack Eichel's 8th place finish in the Hart Trophy voting is the highest finish for any Sabres forward since Pat LaFontaine (3rd) in 1992-93

Girgensons used to play center, have him as the 4th line center. He was thought of as being the Sabres future captain when he was center.

I hate the team argument for the Hart trophy. Isn’t the same logic applied that if the team your on is better your individual stats will be better

As if 2020 couldn’t get any more frustrating, the Raiders look good

Sabres lineup should be:

Skinner-Eichel-Sam
Kahun-Staal-_____
Olofsson-Cozens-_____
Girgs-Larsson-Okposo
-Lazar

If we can’t bring in anyone for the open slots,
then we look internally to the kids to fill those slots
Mitts, Thompson, Asplund, Ruotsalainen

Titans should win the South.

Texans are a sinking ship with O’Brian.

Colts could challenge though.

Broncos are done already with all of the injuries they have.
