Anyone thinking Dylan Cozens was the 4th best forward on the Sabres last year is certainly inhaling something.

BTW, since Pegs slithered away under his analytics rock, the bet is open to anyone in the analytics with zero context crowd:

I bet analytics stud, Jesse Puljujarvi, aka 1st class stiff won't crack 50 points next season.

The analytics crowd says he drove play on McDavid's line. Any takers? Loser has to change SN to winner choice for a year.

Just because Cozens was frankly poor on capitalizing on his scoring opportunities by no means implies that his impact was generally extremely positive.

If you want to relate the two and simply say well he didn't score pointz then yeah, I guess you're right, he was average at best. Other than that comparison, it's dead wrong.

The “analytics crowd” doesn’t give two poops about point totals so none of us are taking you up on this bet

He's the worst player of his generation and the 50 generations prior.

Olofsson had a worse impact than Vinnie. But you know, I don't watch the games.

Do opposing goals lose games also? Because he helps in that category a lot.

The worst impact guy was Krebs by a mile

I went to war for Dylan and gerbe took the hits and I'll die on the hill that he's going to be a great player for this team.

I see alot of Cirelli in Cozens.
Getting Dylan to 20/30/50 while being a shut down player with some physicality would be huge.

I’ll take this bet but modified. If PoolParty hits 50 points, all your post have to have an analytic thought behind. If not, I will spout nothing but points and hits and blocked shots as guys I want. But like for a month cuz it’ll get very old very fast. Gotta have an injury clause as well for just straight points

I would love to see your evidence that Dylan Cozens wasn't individually one of the team's best forwards.
- TheSabresTaco

His stat line. Even on the Sabre roster it's unimpressive. You can argue he had a better year than Asplund, though I'll disagree. Okposo and Olofsson arent even debatable to me.

SLUT!!

- sbroads24

Regular forwards, yes. Overall, that distinguished honor goes the Joker.

It's too bad Krebs was so caved in, because he had some absolutely gorgeous moments in the ozone. I fully expect him to vastly improve in the next two seasons.

cozens had a worse plus minus, fewer even strength points

and I am pretty sure olofsson was on the ice when we were trying to tie up a game and allowed an empty netter when cozens was on the bench


but continue

Modified my post, gotta have an injury clause for something like straight points or it’s a useless wager

50 points for pool party? That's a hell of a bet. Especially cause his impacts were a lot of Vinnie like play.

I do wish you luck though, I'd love to see laca attempt analytical thought.

you think he was the 4th best guy up front

others think he was the 6th best guy up front


not really worth a pissing contest on a nice day
