6. Dylan Cozens

DOB: Feb. 9, 2001 (age 18)
Position: C
Shoots: R
Team: Lethbridge Hurricanes — WHL
Height: 6-foot-3
Weight: 185 pounds

Perhaps the finest skater in the 2019 class, Dylan Cozens is a noteworthy 200-foot forward whose versatility consistently serves as his most acclaimed quality. He does not often opt to embark upon a flashy trajectory when powering up the ice, but the 18-year-old center is widely noted to be one of this year’s most multifaceted prospects.

With an ability to make smart decisions in key moments, Cozens is projected to be drafted anywhere in the top ten. His resolve to shoot, in particular, should draw the attention of GMs looking to add a hard-working point-getter down the middle.
