Value of: Dylan Cozens

[WreckingCrew]

BUF fans want to sell Cozens as a young 30G - 70PT C locked up to a long-term $7.1M/yr contract...everyone else sees him & wants to buy him as a 15G - 35PT W on a contract that's double his value. There's no happy-medium that can really be reached, and BUF honestly is probably best-off just keeping him if they think he'll develop into anything nearly worth his contract because the current risk for other teams spending assets to acquire a potential anchor contract is too high

Not too much of a risk.. he can be bought out at a third of his contract for another year.... buti think Buffalo should just hold on to him and hope for a rebound and buy him out if he doesn't..as opposed to just selling low.

Kind of like the Canes and Kotkaniemi, if they want to move on from him there's no reason to give up assets in an effort to trade him when his buyout cap hit would be like $800k/yr

Unless this is a hockey trade that improves the club right now, it makes more sense to hold onto Cozens and hope he turns it around. Picks/Prospects are not welcome.

How I see it with Nashville at least; unless they intend to send us Josi and Novak for Cozens and Jokiharju; I really don't have any interest in anything else they have to offer.

Don't want futures or draft picks

Cozens still has another year before his contract becomes a concern.

Is this in reference to the ability to buy him out is still 1/3 the contract value due to his age? Not exactly a ringing endorsement on his trade value I’d imagine.

Edit: I see you mentioned that above this.
