Hayton, Comer, Cozens, Caufield, Laf, Patrick and Dach over Zegras?!?!?!

ill be honest missed him. adding in.

btw probably taking Cozens over zegras. Besides zegras having the fancy moves, cozens is the more complete player. Just look at any chart

That's such an L take. If you reduce Zegras to "fancy moves", you are basically acknowledging you haven't watched him play besides the few highlight reel goals. And if you wanna look at charts, let's start with Dom Luszczyszyn's cards (aka Dom at the athletic). Here, Zegras is better in every category (projected / pace):

Goals
Z: 20 / 21
C: 15 / 15

Assists
Z: 41 / 45
C: 24 / 27

Points too, obviously

Offense
Z: 6.9 / 12.1
C: -0.9 / -2.1

Defense
Z: 1.2 / -1.0
C: -3.3 / -3.8

GSVA
Z: 2.1 / 2.2
C: 0.5 / 0.5

This alone shows that not any chart shows that Cozens is allegedly the more complete player.

Cozens has a better GAR, xGAR (offense AND defense), better PP offense GAR, Better shorthanded GAR, xGAR, which doesnt say much for this argument of course cause zegras doesnt play 200ft game while cozens is a 200 ft player

So opinions are opinions, but your exact quote "This alone shows that not any chart shows that Cozens is allegedly the more complete player" is actually completely wrong and goes to show you dont have a ton of deep hockey knowledge except saying "wow that lacrosse goal was cool guys!!!"

Zegras is a good player but your statement is totally wrong. They are two totally different players and just so happens Cozens prides himself on being good both ends of the ice which will hurt his offence early in his career while zegras is all about offence but has awful defensive analytics.

Huh? I only replied to your comment that "any" chart shows that Cozens is better which is simply untrue. Also, why put words in my mouth? I literally said that his "fancy moves" aren't the main part of his game and if you think that's how I view things, you're just assuming stupid ****. And why say I don't have a ton of deep hockey knowledge? You just didn't understand my comment. I never said who's actually better, I only said that not every chart proves your point, that's all.



How can my statement be wrong when I literally just said that not any chart proves your point which I showed through the stats above. Additionally, I said that Zegras isn't just fancy which is a fact and anyone who actually knows Ducks hockey will tell you the same.



Zegras' xGAR is literally higher than Cozens'.
Zegras: 4.3
Cozens: 3.7

I'M not saying Zegras is 100% better. I'm just saying that you shouldn't reduce him to his flashiness because that proves you don't know how he plays. I'm also not trying to discredit Cozens here, he's made great improvements this season and I'm truly happy he's playing this well.
