Proposal: Dylan Cozen's for Philipp Kurashev & Connor Murphy

[Mrfenn92]

Curious what KD would b looking for in terms of a half price Murphy? Assuming the Sens aren't out of it in a month, which is a bold assumption I know

My guess the dream would be a first

Not likely, Ottawa is possibly/likely already down one of those in the next 2 years (F U Bettman) and KD still owes Ottawa for the last 1st they got, cause I especially was not pleased with the chubby little midget they got in return, lol. How about more of a quantity deal, JBD, Donovan/Hamara & a 3rd?

No thanks sir

Fair enough, quantity deals rarely look good on paper in real life for the team receiving the quantity and KD might find someone to squeeze a first out of but I wouldn't hold my breath and I'm sure you're not

I think Kurashev is criminally underrated, but this is absolutely horrendous for the Sabres. Cozens may never be the lockdown "do it all #2C" he was projected to become, but he's still at least a competent-ish 2C at worst and a clear Top-6 Winger with that size+speed combo teams kill for.

Kurashev is sneaky clever as a player and great through the neutral zone especially, but the value just is not there. Connor Murphy is a #4/5 "tweener" at best. He'd probably play on the top pairing with Dahlin or big minutes with Power/Byram, but he's really not that good.

It'd also just leave a gaping hole in the Sabres lineup up front.
