Using this tournament to show he belongs firmly in the top 10 and has been Canada's best and most complete player so far. I'd be more than fine if the Avs took him at 4 tbh
You already have Alberta stud Makar, leave one of Dach or Krebs for the Oilers!Using this tournament to show he belongs firmly in the top 10 and has been Canada's best and most complete player so far. I'd be more than fine if the Avs took him at 4 tbh
Haven’t seen much of either. Just watched the full game last night and then Krebs seemed way quicker on his feetI wouldn't say way faster, or even faster at all. Speed is one of Cozens best assets.
I agree though. I'd take Krebs over Cozens for sure. Much smarter player.
Same here pretty much. I don't see many ffellow av fans talk about him much to bad he wasn't on a better team does hes project as a future nhl C? or w?Using this tournament to show he belongs firmly in the top 10 and has been Canada's best and most complete player so far.

As someone who feels torn between two excellent prospects, my take is that Cozens is gassed at this point in the season. He's only capable of bursts of speed and is gliding a lot, which is not at all his normal game. He seems to want to get open and score while someone else is doing the battling, and his linemates don't seem too into that idea. That line in general hasn't been the best, IMO.Haven’t seen much of either. Just watched the full game last night and then Krebs seemed way quicker on his feet

Which I think is a credit to Krebs, in a way, because Kootenay relied on him to play a huge role all year long and he's still good to go 100%.
That's what is so great about Krebs game. He's similar to guys like O'Reilly and Bergeron because he doesn't make any flashy plays, but he truly plays hard and doesn't give up turnovers easily which is so important. Watching the NHL playoffs, players like Stone, Hertl, and Landeskog are so key to winning. Difficult players to play against because they create turnovers and don't give the puck away. Strong players with quick sticks and high hockey sense should be high 1st round picks everyday because it is almost a guarantee they will contribute to your top 6.His goal was nothing special this morning but he was crashing the net and thats where good things happen. His draft stock has to be going up this tournament so far. He can absolutely fly too
Krebs is a Marchand clone without the Pest
Yeah I agree.Not as good a shooter as Marchand.
Yeah I agree.
My comparison was a pass first Marchand type, minus the dirty plays and licks.
He still has a solid wrister, just needs to add power behind it and shoot more.
Marchand's got a wicked wrister. Krebs has a nice snap shot especially close/mid range. But as his shot is now, I don't see him beating NHL goalies from far out with regularity, like Marchand can.
I keep thinking a less gritty Mike Richards. I guess pass first Marchand is along the same lines.
I like a Mike Richards type of player comparison, with less physicality, which may not be a bad thing. I always thought that Richards played bigger than his body could allow.
Big Krebs fan, I like Krebs and Turcotte over Dach/Cozens at the top of the draft (behind Hughes, Kakko, and perhaps Byram).
Button compared him to Ryan O'Reilly in terms of his awareness and hockey IQ.
