Re: Cozens
Cozens now has two seasons under his belt, roughly 120 games and is now almost a .5 PPG player and is IMO trending very well in the right direction. There is indeed room for improvement, and I would anticipate that he continues on the learning curve and will improve his numbers next year and into the future. It is difficult to know where Cozens will fit into the Sabres' forward lines, but he is very much in the mix with Olofsson, Thompson, Quinn and Middlestadt as the Sabres young forward core. All of these guys have similar upside, in fact according to that "Dobber Guy" Cozens actually has a slightly higher upside than all of these guys and it is important to note that he is the "kid" here, still only 21 years old, the others have had a year or two head start on him (Olofsson, 5 years) in terms of development. I'm not sure Cozens is a PPG player nor an elite first line center, but he should readily round into a very solid top six forward, but, when I look at Buffalo's depth chart at center, there should be opportunity for Cozens to earn first line deployment in a few years. We'll see. I think 50 - 55 pts next year is a fair expectation and 65 - 75 pt potential beyond that.
