I still feel it’s too early to chime in on how I am feeling about this one but I guess I am gonna do it anyways.

The start right now could be all adrenaline but I am encouraged it has gone on for about 2 weeks now without withering away shows that 30goal 70pt season wasn’t a fluke he has the talent to possibly recreate it.

I see where Buffalo fans are coming form if he isn’t scoring I can see how it is easy to get frustrated with him if u ignore the first two games he played with us.

With Norris missing more games than he has played for Buffalo so far it makes this an easy win at least for this season. But this trade probably won’t have a decided winner for another 2-3 seasons.
 
And then, you mean, Buffalo fans aren’t all experts??

Where’s my mind blown gif

This is even a question? This is the biggest direct highway robbery the sens have made since the Yashin for Spezza/Chara deal.

My jaw dropped when the deal was done. It hit the floor when the sens got the 2nd round pick. I thought it was a typo.

Norris is a great player but his cap hit and injuries I dont know how he had any value at all.

Cozens isnt done developing either, big guy longer dev curve man he can fly and extend the zone.
Welcome back, Bert.

You missed the post trade commentary on here from Buffalo fans telling anyone who would listen (and a few were ever so ready to listen) how bad Cozens is. I have been a Cozens fan for several years .. I was promoting a Norris for Cozens trade before it happened. Fantastic trade for the Sens. BIG W
 
Thought Klevin was supposed to bring more of that
Perhaps he will as he develops and gets accustomed to the league and playing against the best players. Right now, not so much. I am hoping he does and counting on it. :)

I understand their disappointment he is a promising young player thats game fell off in a bad situation. But he is clearly a better player than Norris, is bigger, faster and isnt injury prone most importantly. Norris is a more polished player but Cozens has more upside. There is more runway here, him drake and Perron have been amazing. He can carry the puck in the neutral zone which is really big for this team other than Stutzle they dont have anyone that does that up front. Drake has looked amazing I dont think its a strange coincidence.

Norris is one of the fastest players in the league, otherwise I agree.
 
His Dad saying he put so much pressure on himself in Buffalo to turn it around that it effected his game, and coming to Ottawa was like releasing a pressure valve.

Dad’s trip is great, learned a lot about kleven and Cozens. Ullmark dad sadly. Great way to promote the players outside of hockey and we learn about them, really cool. Kleven seems like a real gem, a leader, a Staois type of guy - loyal, no BS, proud of his roots and a solid citizen.

Do you like Kleven more than Albert Johansson? Both are rookie dman, Johansson has 1 extra point, but 2 less goals in 17 less games than Kleven.

Idk anything about Johansson that I can't look up on hockey reference, but what I like about Kleven is his potential as a physical shut down defender. His long reach, his strength in front of the net and along the boards, his ability to throw crushing hits, all combine with very good mobility. He's a work in progress, but I see a potential gem that's tough to find these days.
 
Cozens/Batherson is going to turn into a deadly duo. The chemistry that they are starting to develop is next level. I think by mid-season next year, they are going to be a force.

I've just got to say with his addition, it's been a long time that our 2nd line drives play even more than our 1st line. I don't think it's a coincidence that Batherson and DP both are starting to play much better when they have a big centre who can carry the puck and retain possession in the zone

I found the comment about having the long time girlfriend, being a hard working and valuing old friends really cool. I find that much more appealing than the typical how many women can I slay, and how much can I work on my celly's type guys.

This trade makes me appreciate Staios a lot because there wasn't really realistic ways that I could have been ok with Norris being moved but even though it sucks for Josh, this trade is almost like a best case scenario. The only way to fix this rebuild was that Staios could pull off moves like this. Hopefully he has another one in his steeve this summer.
 
I genuinely love what he brings to the team. He's got great hockey IQ, hits like a truck, and produces points consistently. He'll only get better too as he gets more comfortable playing with the Sens.
He is one of my favourite players already. He's defensively responsible, and very creative on the offensive side of the puck.
 
If you take Norris and Cozens, both 100% healthy and playing at their best, I think I prefer Norris. Norris just seemed a bit faster and more nimble around the ice. Cozens is a bit bigger/stronger and tougher to contain down low but also a bit more lumbering. But with Norris' inability to stay in the lineup, it's a no doubter huge win for the Sens. I'm thrilled with got Cozens. He's young and will keep getting better.
