If there's nothing soonish about the Sabres I'm going to have to downgrade Weekes to a lesser insider

People haven't been paying attention to Buffalo and it shows.
Sunday was nothing, it happens all the time. The owner cannot be embarrassed or shamed and he only cares about one thing -- being part of every and all decisions. The past two GMs were only fired because they weren't involving him enough, not because they were the worst in eth league at their jobs.
The only change that will be made is Cozens gets traded, and MAYBE one assistant coach. Both in the offseason.

Again, he's tweeting, not posting on the HFboards Trade forum. They don't need to cater to the parameters of what's "Speculation" or "Rumor" worthy here.
...what would the Sabres actually want for Cozens??...Habs fan asking; we have both our own & Calgary's 1st this year and a deep prospect pool...

Seems like the cost must be low since a deal with Detroit was close at one point, and they don't have much to offer in that kind of trade (all players, no futures). The new team with a lot of Cozens smoke is CAL who have even less to give up.
Apparently a hockey trade and not futures. So that will be mighty hard when they have to be on most NTCs.
Could work something around Calgary 1st, Dach and say a prospect like Mailloux, or Roy?

Well, I think every Buffalo fan has their own opinion on this. I don't like Cozens, and I wasn't a fan of his draft pick and wanted someone else. He has upside, but it doesn't seem like much, although it could be very attractive if he can fix his brain, and right now his brain is just broken. Cozens hasn't been good at center for the second season in a row, and we have guys like Thompson and now Kulich (one of them can be a top 6 C, and the other can play wing), but we also need another top 6 C, ideally a playmaker, but that's as it turns out. There is no place for Cozens at center. On the other hand, we could try him on the wing, where he excelled at the world championship at that position, but for some reason our coach doesn't want to do that. Personally, I just don't see a place for Cozens in our top 9, but not everyone will agree with me.
