Was out last night and didn't have a lot of time to post.
Not super happy with the Cozens pick. Not with Cozens himself, but the logic behind the pick. The Sabres had Zegras on the board, and passed. Highly skilled centers are hard to come by.
Cozens himself, I think is a safe pick. His upside at center is Jeff Carter - a shoot first center with elite physical traits, who can dominate possession and also make plays. If he doesn't pan out there, he can go to wing where he can use his size and speed, eventually developing into a power forward. With the way the playoffs are, he's the type of forward who can play in those physical contest.
However, I still take Zegras. I think Cozens ends up at winger. And you take the center over the winger.

Johnson is a great pick. He's got Guhle's physical skills with Pysyk's game. He's a top 4 defensive defender who can cover for his partner. Well done by the Sabres.
