Confirmed with Link: [BUF/OTT] Dylan Cozens, Dennis Gilbert, and 2026 2nd for Josh Norris and Jacob Bernard-Docker

Sabres needed to make a change

Cozens was selected imo based on not sticking up for teammates

Cozens will do well in Ottawa. Buffalo has something bad in their locker room or coaching staff

Owner's suite... (although its normally not occupied by the owner)

Pegula has spent money.

On the bright side Norris is really positive and well liked in the locker room so there is no worry about him showing up and being negative.

Surprised Tage didn't go down the tunnel.

Whether you believe the has or hasn't spent narrative....fact is..he doesn't care anymore...and he has no standard for winning. If he did...Adams would of been gone years ago...the coaching staff would of been gone.

The Sabres are an investment now... nothing more.

Subtracting the zero-IQ play killing of Cozens should reverberate positive impacts throughout the lineup.

He played the game the wrong way the last two seasons. Maybe he can change that in Ottawa, maybe not.

But he was a truly infuriating player to root for.

I want to believe that but I said the same thing about Skinner for years and years and when he was finally jettisoned the collective IQ of the team was not measurably better. There's a lot of dummies out there.

Cozens had an assist and a career high 9 hits tonight in Ottawas 4-3 OT win.

A lot of play acting going on to get out of Buffalo.

Man, people are going to be talking those 9 bullshit hits forever. Hits are subjective stats recorded by the home team’s statistician. He skated into people 9 times. There’s was exactly one “hit” that even remotely impeded a Ranger. He was the same Cozens.

 

[Dreakon13]

Cozens "hit" while he was in Buffalo too... I'm guessing whether or not they get recorded probably depends on how much you consider lightly pushing someone into the boards after they make a play, then falling over, as a hit.

Buffalo is still Buffalo, they're still going to get embarrassed more often than not and Norris wasn't gonna move mountains in his first game (especially when half the team is sick/injured and out or playing through it), but it's a shame his debut had to be against one of the best teams in the league. Get to listen to this the rest of the season now.

 

[Byron Bitz]

Is JBD anything? I really don't know much of anything about him. RD is good.

If they liked JBD then I don’t know why they let him pass through waivers.

It was not a good trade. You wait until the off season and you take your 1st and a prospect with Cozens and you upgrade. Its so sad and Kevyn will not be fired this offseason you can count on it.

Does that mean then Cozens gets 9 hits when he was in a Buffalo uniform at home or is our home team statistician different?

And what will 1st and prospect give for us? And is anyone willing to pay that for Cozens? We need hockey deals.

I don't understand your post? Cozens + 1st + Prospect is the trade for a player...tweak it to suit the player.(I was implying Cozens too in the trade added it in)

You go up in quality not down.

My bad. I thought we should sell Cozens for a first and a prospect. But what kind of player are we getting for that package? Name and no trade protection please and available.

How would fans know who is available? Its the off season, you offer it up its obviously negotiable but one thing I do know we get back a better player than Norris.
