Yet another Playmaker, 2019 first-rounder Alex Newhook is well-rated in many skills, but some others are in need of improvement. Alex Newhook, 79 OVR (Elite Med)īest Attributes: 90 Acceleration, 90 Agility, 90 Speed With Lethbridge in 2019/20, he had 47 assists and 38 goals in 51 games. In 41 games with Buffalo during the 2020/21 season, Cozens had nine assists and four goals, one of which came on a powerplay. He also brings the ability to switch to right wing. He has an 86 in hand-eye, passing, puck control, defensive awareness, stick checking, offensive awareness, wrist shot accuracy, and wrist shot power. He has an 87 in deking, all three speed categories, and slap shot power. The first Two-Way Forward on the list, Cozens has many ratings in the mid-to-upper 80s. The seventh pick in 2019, Cozens is worth acquiring from the Sabres – further thwarting Buffalo’s success in NHL 22. With the uncertainty surrounding Jack Eichel’s status and future with Buffalo, the Sabres may hope that Dylan Cozens can become what they hoped Eichel would be, should the latter depart. Dylan Cozens, 82 OVR (Elite Med)īest Attributes: 87 Deking, 87 Speed, 87 Slap Shot Power In 17 games for the San Diego Gulls, he had 11 assists and ten goals in 17 games, adding two assists and one goal in three playoff games. In 24 games for Anaheim during the 2020/21 season, Zegras had ten assists and three goals. He is already a good center – with the ability to play left wing as well – in terms of setting up the offense, and should only improve over the next couple of seasons.

Trevor Zegras makes an appearance on this list as the 2019 ninth-overall pick has solid all-around skills, but for the purposes of these rankings, it’s his Elite med potential that makes him one of the best young centers.Īnother Playmaker, he has 89 deking, 88 in all speed categories, and 88 passing, puck control, and offensive awareness.
