It was brought up on the 32 thoughts podcast that teams are calling Buff about Dylan Cozens.

Now I personally think trading him would be a massive mistake in a long line of massive mistakes, Sam, Reinhart, ROR, Jack Eichel, even Evander Kane

And yes I know Tage was acquired for ROR but still ROR went on to win a cup, playoff MVP and the Selke.

Jack won a cup

Reinhart won a cup

Kane went to game 7 of the finals.

They shouldn't do this, they should keep Cozens.

But if they do what does a Cozens deal look like?

Hard to think it matters too much if players go on to win a cup. They all went to teams that actually have foundations. Which is something Buffalo can’t seem to build.

I actually like what they did with Malenstyn and McLeod. Feel like they should’ve addressed the spots with some vets that have experience of winning or at least surround those guys with that.

Unless they draft a truly franchise altering player, I’m not sure how they fix the issue if they won’t bring in a few guys to build a culture, or just don’t trade core pieces prior to them being in a position to build a core.

I get Eichel had some injury issues at the time and seemingly didn’t like the way things were handled, but that would’ve been the perfect player to surround with some experience along with seemingly Reinhart.

Evander Kane, seriously? They shouldn't even have traded for him. But also, Cozens is nothing like Eichel, Reinhart or ROR. I don't think you know who Dylan Cozens is. Sure, they don't need trade him for pennies, but I'd definitely listen to offers for Cozens. Our roster is very questionable and not going to make the playoffs, so almost anyone should be available for a trade, though preferably not with this idiot GM.

Cozens is making 7 mil and is on pace for 37 points. He was supposed to be the solution to 2C spot for years. It enabled the Mittlestad trade. Now, is this guy with 47 points last year and on pace for even less this year that solution?

If he can go somewhere and win the Cup or simply be an effective player, for starters, it doesn't mean he can do it in Buffalo. Of course, the return would have to be big but nobody is telling them to give him up for free.

32 thoughts is bullshit.

But in the unlikely event that the Buffalo Sabres are considering making significant changes, I definitely hope the Habs will inquire about Cozens.

Sabres fan here...I'd have no problem trading Cozens or most of the roster for that matter...In fact, I think it should be done..Fire GMKA and overhaul the whole roster.
