Owen Power to the Sens?

If the Sens get Peterka back, I will build a statue of Staios in the same design as David by Michaelangelo.

cozens to ottawa?

Are they flipping mid C's?

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Owen Power to the Sens?

I hope not, that's Chychrun 2.0

 

[Michoulicious]

Cozens to Ottawa according to my sources.

 

[Nevins]

For Cozens?

 

[qc14]

A Norris/Cozens swap of some kind makes sense

 

[robsenz]

JBD is a D Weekes

 

[HockeyVirus]

Terrible trade for Buffalo no idea what they gave up yet. Norris is 1 hit away from retirement

 

[Shark Finn]

Can't be, I don't see Weekes' forehead on a video..

Exactly what I thought

I don't understand this for buffalo. Norris is one bad doorknob twist away from retirement.

Why sell low on cozens? Money savings again?

If Buffalo trade Cozens in division, people need to be immediately fired

Exactly.

They have 2 excellent LDs already, Sanderson (#1) and Chabot (#2), who cover 45-50 minutes.

The Sens could use a LD, but a bottom pairing one to replace/upgrade on Kleven who is out week to week. Adding Power creates another logjam. They have to play him 13 minutes or on the right side, which most LD can't do effectively.


As for Norris, unless they get a true scoring winger for Stutzle, I'd rather keep him. He's a solid 2-way 2nd line centre. If he is traded, the team gets a bit thin at centre. Pinto can be a good 2nd line centre, Greig an ok 3rd line centre, but 1 injury to Stutzle or Pinto means doom. The team was bad when both Norris and Pinto were out.

If they can somehow get Peterka AND Cozens for Norris +++, I'm in for sure, but I don't see the Sabres doing that. And if the +++ is too much, I don't see the Sens doing that, as the Sens have no depth at the NHL level or with good prospects.

Peterka and Cozens for Norris, JBD, Yakemchuk ? Don't roast me, I don't pretend to be an expert.

Norris makes more than Cozens, can't be that.

Nobody will be fired lol Adams gets a free pass , Pegula bootlicker

 

[Glorydays22]

Has to be for Cousins and something

 

[thewookie1]

God forbid Buffalo ever make a good move when we can instead help everyone else at our own detriment.

 

[Petes2424]

Byrum?

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.

BREAKING: Dylan Cozens to #Sens, per @CMDeDominicis

Thank the lord, hopefully he can find his game again.

Now free Power or Byram from that soul-sucking team.

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.
