I've always had the impression that Rehfuss takes a flatter angle from x than is conducive to getting to a location in front of the net where he can take a shot.  Because he needs more time to correct to a good shooting angle, he makes himself more vulnerable to doubles that push him further away.  
He has compensated by improving his passing.   And once and a while, he shoots from an impossible angle and scores, but not often.  He's smart enough not to shoot out of frustration, so his patience gives him time to find Scanlan on the other side.

As for Cook, I remember it took JoJo almost through his junior season before he became a dangerous scorer from x and from in front.  Cook often gets himself into good position in front of the net, but when he does he is easily knocked just as he shoots even in close and misses.  Strength, physical maturity will help this year, but I think he will need this year to come into his own.  His major contributions and I don't think he gets enough credit for them are his intensity and hustle.  They have a palpable impact on the other offensive players.  Just for these, he will play a great deal.  Every second he's on the field he will improve his offensive capabilities.  And he will pick up his teammates psychologically.
