Definitely not superstar numbers, but not that bad either.
I don’t know anything about advanced stats, I was just looking at his points per game over the years and comparing that to the trajectory of Eichel and Reinhart in the same organization. If the Flames did get him I would expect the acquisition cost to be low. He makes more than Kadri and it seems likely Kadri will outscore him for the remainder of their respective contracts so maybe if the Flames want to get younger it is Kadri out and Cozens in in two separate trades with no lost in relative assets.
