Dylan Cozens to Pittsburgh

[Empoleon8771]

Is there a way for the Penguins to offer a futures focused package for Cozens? It's becoming pretty apparent that Malkin is best suited off as a winger, so they'd need a center to push Malkin to the wing. Cozens has taken a few steps back since he signed his deal back in 2023, but he's still pretty young and has a higher upside than his performance this year.

It's hard to gauge his value because he only has 20 points in 39 games but he's still young and has shown to be a very good NHLer, and I doubt Buffalo would be moving him for a bad return.

No. The last thing we need is futures. We’re stocked with prospects, we need nhl players now.

Youre better off with malkin at center than cozens atm and I cant think of anything Pittsburgh could realistically offer thatd make me consider...

Yeah that's kinda what I figured, and the Penguins NHL roster kinda sucks so I'm skeptical they have anything of interest to offer Buffalo then. That is unless they really like Marcus Pettersson for some reason

Anyone who goes on this board and makes a trade offer for the Sabres sending us futures is essentially trolling at this point, it would be like offering a drowning man a bottle of water.

No. Buffalo doesn’t need anymore goddamn futures.

Pittsburgh seems like a bad trading partner, I don't see any realistic deal for Cozens and there is no interest in futures.

You dont have current roster players either to get Cozens

Sabres need to blow it up and rebuild.

Sabres need to blow it up and rebuild.

no they don't lmao they need to actually let the young players develop (of who they're keeping) and get veteran players around who they decide their core is. Move the rest and draft capital for said players. It's time to insulate which Adams refuses to do.

They're the youngest team in the league.

Sabres need to blow it up and rebuild.

Please no, zero sense. We literally haven't even gotten out of the last rebuild yet, and you're suggesting we rebuild again.

The only way I could see this happen is with a three way deal.

1. Pens send picks and prospects to team #2.

2. Team #2 trades a center to Buffalo with term

3. Buffalo trades Cozens to Pens

Typing that out already sounds pretty ridiculous.

Sure. Who even cares anymore? Sabres are a farm team. Fold the team.
