Value of: Cozens to Habs...at what price?

  • Xenforo Cloud has upgraded us to version 2.3.6. Please report any issues you experience.
You knew there was gonna be Sabres fans coming in here whining about how they don't want picks lmao.

Helpful tip: You can flip draft picks for current assets. You're out to lunch if you wouldn't take two mid firsts for Cozens at his incredibly depressed value.
Technically Cozens is not worth that much for his current output but we need to assume that he can be better.

I think he will be better on the Habs.

Regardless of what Buffalo needs might be or if Cozens would be a fit in Montreal (I don’t think he would), I think from a pure value perspective paying 2x mid first round picks for Cozens is laughable at best.

If Cozens isn’t the guy for 2C in Buffalo why would he suddenly be the perfect fit for Montreal?

Oh do you have the link to Montreal offering two 1sts? Or was that a fantasy post you are promoting as something that is real? And then attacking everyone who disagrees with you over a fantasy offer? lol.
Are you new to this board?
Because you sound like you're new
 
sabres aren't getting better with the current gm. pegula seems a bit reluctant to overspend. sabres taking back carey price contract could be a start, thats 10m he doesn't have to spend to reach the cap floor next season. maybe armia or savard to get habs caps compliant without sabres having to commit. toss in a 1st so it looks good and something else so it appears the sabres helped the habs accrue cap space. it can't look like the sabres want an insured contract they don't have to pay out.

Sabres fans don't like the offer, deal with it. And yes, Sabres don't need picks and prospects. No whining, just a fact.

Buffalo don't want picks and I'm certainly not paying our 2 1sts for him.

Too many question marks for a 7,1M$ player for another 5 years. We already did the experiment with Dach. We are going for a more known asset.
Who?
 
Not too interested in Cozens. He's only had one really good season. It would be another "let's hope he ends up being better in Montreal". Those didn't work too well in the case of Dach and Newhook. At least, so far.

I'd rather go for a well-established veteran 2C and bet on our prospects at C (Beck, Hage, etc.) developing into that potential down the road.

With Dach going down, it's clear that we need to find a 2C that can step into that role.

Problem is that so are a bunch of other teams.

The Habs have a pile of picks, including 2 in the first round. At this point, my guess is the Sabres are looking for team attitude game changers then more picks. Besides picks, we have is vet defenseman that Sabres don't need.

So are 2 mid first rounders enough?

The teams are poor fits in terms of need, beyond my suggestion, is there something that would make sense for both?

(And please, I know every Hab player is worth half as much or twice as much, depending on solar eclipses and moon tides. Try to keep it real....TRY)
Sabers fans tell me Buffalo doesn't have a scouting department so picks in mid/late round 1 don't hold much value when you waste um.

Habs have a big farm system... I'd like something around Beck + Hage + Mailloux for Cozens + Rosen + Wahlberg should be a base for teams to add. Make it a huge trade.

It's been said several times by good sources, they want a hockey trade. You can argue as you wants, it is what it is.

Maybe a deal can be created around Ghule / Cozens, but in that case, I assume Sabres would have to add.
