Confirmed Trade: [OTT/BUF] Dylan Cozens, Dennis Gilbert, and 2026 2nd round pick for Josh Norris and Jacob Bernard-Docker

If it’s Cozens, the Sens are taking a huge chance here.

 

[CanMerc]

LMAO

 

[5 Minute Major]

Wrong.

Buffalo taking a massive risk with Norris' injury history

If you change your mind on the first daylight, honey I'm still on free, take a chance on me!

If it’s Cozens, the Sens are taking a huge chance here.

Norris + JBD out, Cozens in saves about $1.5m. That is significant for a team that only had about 800k, and I suspect/hope they will try to use that space to add depth.

Honestly I wrote that completely blanking JBD from my head (which to be fair is something we're really good at). If we don't take more cap back then yes that is a positive provided we add another asset elsewhere, like you said. I hope we can nab a winger.

 

[Tahoeblue]

I know there are more details to come out but trying to wrap my brain around this one. Division rivals as well. Seems like some risk on both sides. Did not see this coming.

 

[CanMerc]

BUF doing what it does

 

[Michoulicious]

Cozens to Ottawa according to my sources.

LeBrun confirms what my sources said.

Are you not familiar with Josh Norris and his situation....Buffalo is taking the bigger chance here.

If it’s Cozens, the Sens are taking a huge chance here.

Norris has never played more than 66 games in a season. I'd say the Sabres are ones taking the risk.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

I like this for Ottawa

 

[LeProspector]

When healthy, Norris is one of the top two way centers in the NHL and he can score if given space. A tad overpaid but health is a concern.

Love this for Ottawa.

 

[WarriorofTime]

"Norris has been a reproductive player" lol did he mean to say "really productive"?

 

[Cosmix]

Cozens for Norris and JBD seems OK to me. Norris is injury prone and both players seem to have similar stat lines.

 

[sxvnert]

Absolute stupid deal for the sabres.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Sens heavily win this deal IMO... what an odd move by Buffalo... Sabres are a bizzare team

 

[zenator]

Can someone describe the style of game Cozens plays? Is he a 2-way centre? I don't watch the Sabres often.

 

[OkimLom]

If Brady can ignite that spark in Cozens that he once had, Ottawa grossly wins the trade by far.

 

[tkb81]

I

I hope not, that's Chychrun 2.0

Isn't he doing awesome in Washington?

 

[Cosmix]

Ther

I'm not sure I like it if it's for Cozens. Norris plays our toughest matchups, produces at a similar rate, and makes a similar amount. I'm not convinced Cozens is an upgrade or a better fit. I am someone that has been a little puzzled at the timing of us pushing so hard to move Norris though.

At least Cozens can stay healthy.

There are reasons to trade Norris if you can get something of equivalent value: injury prone, high $8M salary for what he provides.

 

[Akrapovince]

Erik Karlsson trade tree grows.

 

[featherhawk]

if true it could work out well IMO.

To me Cozens has not been used correctly. if true Dylan could be a great fit with the Sens forward core if he can stay healthy...

 

[SpezDispenser]

Should I be pleased as an Ottawa fan? I don't really know what to think.
