2. Dylan Cozens

My second candidate is Dylan Cozens. While he is known to be a skilled player, Dylan has shown a mean side to his game. If you have watched a Sabres game, you'll see him get into a scrum or a fight. He'll even throw a hit as well.

Look, everyone considers the Sabres to be soft. While they have players who play physically, it's been a long time since we've seen Buffalo play a physical brand of hockey. Ever since he's been in the league, Dylan has shown that he isn't afraid of anyone and will stick up for his teammates if necessary.

Cozens has leadership qualities and in some postgame press conferences after losses, he is very honest in his answers, whether it involves himself or the team. Just like Tuch, I would not be surprised if Dylan has an A on his sweater.
