[rt]

It’s two for one. Who wins and by how much?

You’d probably have to add a prospect like Rosen/Ostlund and another 2nd or something. Kesselring won’t be cheap.

I mean Kesselring is barely being outproduced by Cozens, as a defenseman...

Utah would probably be more interested in Strbak or Komarov.

Would be a coup for Utah

This is what I voted thinking Kesselring was UFA.

Not only is he RFA, he’s an RFA after next year.

Would change my vote to “Utah wins by a little” because I still think Cozens is best player in the trade, but it’s better than I initially thought for Buffalo.

As a sabres fan I would definitely do this. I would probably even add something small if we had to.

 

[wintersej]

Adding Kesselring feels like a big plus. Cozens and Crouse both obviously struggling this year, although Crouse has an actual track record where Cozens had the one outlier season. Cozens obviously had age and control in his favor. I think 1:1 favors Utah, but adding Kesselring swings the value even further in Buffalos direction.

Sounds like a fair trade by the responses in here

Wow. I disagree. Feel like Buffalo wins by a lot.

I guess I just don’t value cozens as much as others.

Is Komarov too much to ask for?

Is Komarov too much to ask for?

For me, yes. He is developing far above expectations and is the blueprint of what we need right now, it's just waiting.

So more like a 3rd round pick or something?

 

[Zman5778]

Is Komarov too much to ask for?

Personally, I don't think so. Strbak (as mentioned above) would be too much to ask for, IMO. Komarov? Notsomuch.

Yup. The player with the most upside is Cozens. And we’ve all seen how good ex Sabre’s can be when on other clubs.

I’m just super skeptical of stats from Buffalo players from the year where they decided not to play defense at a professional league level.

 

[Fjordsen]

As a Buffalo fan I would do it, these are the players we need and I'm not a Cozens fan.

 

[FlyguyOX]

Shoot if Cozens is going to get traded for that then flyers will send you Laughton and York lets do ittttt

That's what I think of the yotes in this trade

 

[TheMistyStranger]

I think it's pretty even with Buffalo adding a 3rd and a 7th or something similar.

Yeah, it seems like if we added just a bit more from buffalos side, the poll wouldn’t be skewing quite so much. It seems like it’s pretty close.

 

[LGB]

I’ve been very impressed by Kesselring whenever we play Utah

 

[truthbluth]

Buffalo wins by a little. Cozens would fit perfectly in Utah. But I think something else to even it. Sabres have tons of prospects. Wouldn’t hate sending a recent D pick. Kleber, Strbak, McCarthy. Little hesitant on Komarov and Novikov as they’re closer. Strbak would be a pretty big win for Utah. I think that kids got the goods to play in the league a long time. I don’t know, but I like this an idea. Nice job rt.

 

[toddkaz]

Is Komarov too much to ask for?

Not fore me. He looks promising as a 5-6 but I would trade him. Buffalo needs to go in a different direction imo and Cozens + Komarov for Kesselring and Cruise is fair.

We got a deal!
