Poll: Kirby Dach or Dylan Cozens

[Sens of Anarchy]

Suzuki should really be in the same conversation as Dach and Cozens

Maybe .. but I would put him in 3rd among the 3 and I am pretty sure that would be the consensus

And not very close

 

[Henkka]

Is this "Eric Staal" vs. "Ryan Getzlaf" debate?

My god this 2019 draft is good.

 

[Legend123]

Kakko much superior imo. If he drops and the habs dont trade for another first or trade up I'm gonna lose it...

 

[1972]

Dach for me, I find his potential easier to project based on his elite playmaking ability.

Cozens has a lot of tools, but he’s harder to project.

 

[MasterMatt25]

But Kakko isn't in this poll. But he should be ahead of both Dach and Cozens

Was just responding to those who said either should be #2. For me, no way in hell. Kakko is the clear #2

 

[WeThreeKings]

Yeah I'm very certain as long as both Cozens and Dach have strong years they are going ahead of Kakko

How many first line right shooting C's are there in the league?

 

[Filthy Dangles]

In terms of style and body, Dach is like Getzlaf. Big RH center who can absolutely thread the needle. Rocket of a shot like Getzlaf while both prefer to pass first instead of shoot first. Cozens is like Ryan Johansen. Another big RH center. Can get up and down the ice but is more of a goal scorer. 22 goals for Cozens vs 7 for Dach in the Western league.

Again those were only style comps if anything. They're neck and neck in my mind right now.

Anyone who has Cozens outside the top 3 at this point is underrating him

I haven't seen this many people sleeping on Cozens since my last visit to Mississippi

Tough for him to squeeze in the top 3 with Hughes and Honka at #1 and #2 and a ton of other talent competing for the #3 spot.

You really have Honka #2?

 

[Kevin Musto]

You really have Honka #2?

Obviously. You'd have to be blind to not have him top 3 at this point. He's by far the most elite D in the draft. Insane hockey IQ.

This.

Especially with their size and 200 foot games at this age, I've been way more impressed with Cozens and Dach than I have Kakko. Although, I've watched Cozens and Dach significantly more being western Canadian boys.

Big, right shot, skilled centres = through the roof value.

 

[Daximus]

Cozens is more of a shooter and Dach is more of a playmaker. I think Krebs gets underrated because he doesn't have the size of the other two. Couple these guys with Turcotte and you have a crazy good group of CS.

Yep, hes my solid 3 right now with no one really close.

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I don't think Hughes is a center.

This is how I'd rank the centers that are currently first round on my list.

Turcotte
Cozens

Newhook
Krebs
Zegras
Dach

Suzuki
Nikkanen

Farinacci

Is Lavoie not a center?
He seems to get underrated quite a bit on here.

 

[LarrysMustache]

He projects as a defensive liability at the next level. You have to be mental to even consider it.

 

[Daximus]

He had a massive boost in stock after last season and made many peoples top 10 and top 15. A lot of guys are riding Hlinka hype right now. It will even out as the season goes on as long as he has a good season. He played a decent amount on the wing last season though. So we'll see where he gets his starts this year. He may project as more of a winger.

Who is a better skater? Better 2-way player?

 

[93LEAFS]

Who is a better skater? Better 2-way player?

I'd say Cozens to both. Dach's edge would be passing and offensive IQ/creativity.

Thanks. Asking for a friend, who is a fan of a terrible team, and is looking forward to the draft already....

Rangers are getting Hughes so yes you should set focus on these guys and others.

Skating they're close with Cozens a slight edge in first steps while Dach's top end speed is a little better. Cozens 2 way game is a little better but Dach can be relied upon on the pk too. Shots are pretty close too. The big edge for Dach is his playmaking ability as he has eyes in the back of his head. Both are top line guys but Dach is a little more dynamic
