I can't see him being moved. They picked him over Mitts and with his contract, they're not going to get what they feel is fair value.

You got a better center you would trade for him? If not, it just not worth it.
Yes, Cozens is frustrating right now. I still don't believe he's a center... But I can't imagine a reasonable trade ask that the Flames would be willing to offer.

Something around Andersson for Cozens might have made some sense before the Sabres traded Mittelstadt. Now as it stands, they don't have the center depth to be able to trade Cozens

I think it comes down to 2 questions
1. Are the Flames very confident that they can get Cozens going?
2: Are the Sabres ready to take a step out of the rebuild phase?
If the answer to yes to both, then there could be room for something to be built around Cozens and Kadri

Cozens isn’t getting traded but yes he’s getting major heat from the fanbase right now for his play the last 365.
I do think moving Cozens for a bigger package instead of Mitts and signing Mitts to a cheaper deal and letting him be the 2C was probably the move. But hindsight is 20/20 and I wouldn’t have said that last year.

If we are trading Cozens then Kadri can't be the main asset we get back. That contract is too ick.
His contract is excellent value. It's perhaps too long. He's 2M underpaid at least right now though. Cozens is the player that's overpaid and has an ick contract. I'm not really interested in Cozens. I'd prefer to target a guy who hasn't really gotten a top 6 opportunity instead of a guy who has not made good use of the excellent shot they've been given. Krebs would be my target from Buffalo.
Cozens and Byram for Kadri and Weegar

If Buffalo is trading Cozens your best C prospect would come back along with Anderssen and something else.
Buffalo will not take back Kadri in any deal
Cozens in a slump now…yes

I just don't see a fit between the Sabres and Flames for Cozens. Given that we don't have Mitts anymore and that McLeod is fitting in perfectly as our 3C, we'd need a legit 2C coming back.......that isn't already 34 years old with 3 more years left on his contract.
We're certainly NOT trading Cozens for a Flames Dman (given the Mitts-for-Byram swap). And we're not trading him for a prospect, given that our stated goal is to win now.

Pretty sure he has 4 years left on his contract AFTER this year. He's signed to 2029. Peeps pretending this contract doesn't suck are delusional.

I doubt Buffalo is looking to shift him anywhere at the moment. They don't have a ready replacement and while his raw point totals are down, he and one of his linemates (Benson or Kulich depending on the night) have been getting shots/chances. It'll start to happen soon - always more worried about players who aren't getting anything than those who are but are snake bitten.
27 shots, 0 goals. If his line had a little more puck luck this season the conversation might be a bit different. For buffalo it becomes how can you acquire a 2C and move him to wing. Only other option is Krebs. Cozens is also notoriously streaky. Every season he probably has two 15 game goal-less droughts.

No - that is too much going from buffalos roster and benson/byram are not pieces looking to be moved.
I actually think Kadri could be a big piece to help elevate the Sabres. So far he's aging well and they need veterans who bring intensity. That team just snoozes.
Because of his age, Kadri's value isn't super high, despite his higher level of play. But at the same time Cozens' value isn't high either, having underperformed his deal. So I think it makes sense. I would guess the Flames would still need to add a good pick/prospect to help even out the long term aspect of the deal.

The time to trade for a Buffalo center was a year ago, and the Avs beat you to it. There’s no deal to be made.
