But IMO, Pettersson is no kind of fit for what Conroy is doing here in the type of players he wants.
He is soft as butter when it comes to physical parts of the game and clearly he is in the middle of a #####storm in Vancouver. No idea if it falls on him or Miller or someone else, but chances are pretty good he is at least part of the problem which cannot be ignored. Yeah he is fantastic with lots of ice to work in, but when things get tight he is somewhat neutered.
Obviously he is more talented offensively than Cozens, but there is a whole lot more to playing effective Center than points.
JT Millers game is much more suited to what the Flames are doing vs EP, but because of age is not really a fit here either.
Cozens style of game I would say is much more along the lines of what CC is building, not to mention his age. His trajectory is to be more of a power forward and those guys take time. His hockey IQ is really high and bodes well for him to improve a lot offensively which will compliment his already solid defensive game.
I dont believe either of them end up in Calgary though so its a moot point.

I would be surprised if Cozens turns into a power forward. At all levels he has played at he has had the physicality more of a Joe Colborne with way better wheels. The guy is far more likely to win the Lady Bing than he is to be the next Keith Tkachuk.
