Bigger difference because peterkacan br signed for 7+ and not walk.
As I've dsid...a 1-2-3 OS Buffalo might not match. Itdeprnfd on the team/ term
That's ignoring the alleged "fact" that JJP wants to walk and Drake is signed for a bargain and also doesn't wanna run from the team that drafted him right after his ELC. Given that Adams thought Norris was more valuable than Cozens, I'd say Drake+Buf 2nd +small add is pretty realistic
I think Norris is more valuable than Cozens too. Also, Peterka’s dissatisfaction is unconfirmed at this point.
I said alleged and used the quotations for a reason. Norris really impressed you in his 3 whole healthy games did he? The most important ability is availability, so it's Cozens all day long and I love Norris
I'm not here to say Cozens is some superstar player you build a team around, but Norris may in fact have close to negative value.
Cozens has been a negative on the ice for a while now. I have nothing against him, but he has the hockey IQ of a brick, and I guarantee you my opinion is not a solitary one.
Another egregore being conjured up. Blatant sorcery. League should look into taking a 1st away from...Ottawa, I suppose.
Ya, he's miscast as a centre, just like Norris in some ways, who don't kid yourself, has en even worse IQ, despite his numerous strengths, mostly his skating, shot and faceoffs. 16 points in 21 games while trailing only Brady in hits is far from a negative, did you even watch him as a Sen? Norris will tell you himself (I've heard him making fun of himself in practices), he can't pass his way out of a wet paper bag and has the vision of 90 year old with cataracts. Cozens will still put up more numbers on an annual basis for less money while also being bigger, younger and having higher value league wide, but ya, in a vacuum, Josh will "wow" you with his shot alone
If we don't spend to the cap, it doesn't matter. We don't spend to the cap. At this point, give me a player with at least half a brain that I can cheer for 35-40 games instead of a low IQ forward who disappeared for 2 seasons.
Historically, Norris is above average defensively, and Cozens is below average. Yeah, they are both deeply flawed players. I have no idea if Josh Norris will still have 2 shoulders at the end of the season, or if Dylan Cozens can fix his hockey IQ or maintain any confidence in himself. Both need medical help, albeit a psych intervention for Cozens.
A low IQ fwd who disappeared for 2 seasons describes Josh in a much more literal way tbf. Norris does not have the IQ Sabres fans seem to think, but you guys only watched him for 3 games, which most people outside Buffalo recognize is symptomatic of what is by FAR his biggest issue. Anyway, I'm done straying from the thread topic, my apologies to the mods, lol
And did you watch him in Ottawa or even glance at his stats? Norris in Buffalo was the exact same Norris I wanted gone from Ottawa, 3g played, nuff said
you're literally the only one saying that about Norris and have been going back and forth with Sabres fan(s) for hours/days....you'll excuse me for not just suddenly taking your word on Norris lol.
I'm definitely not and why do you think his first assist totals are so insanely low relative to his overall production? Go check natural stat trick, besides, he says it about himself and again, you've watched him for 3 games, vs the 230+ I've watched him for. Let him take the faceoff then play the wing for the rest of his shift, he's a pure shooter with no setup ability, you'll see for yourself in time
Its cute you think I watched those games lol. I'm a Sabres fan, by that point in the year I was googling what different clouds look like...
He's still a young player and if it was just a team winning/losing sort of thing it would be premature to me. He's got 2 NHL seasons at this point? It would be unusual for someone that young to pull the competitive team card. If there were reports he did not get along with the coaching staff or believed he was not being put in position to succeed on the ice I would believe that but I am unaware of any such story. I guess we will see. Most guys that are disgruntled suddenly become gruntled when they get their money.
