[OTT/BUT] Josh Norris & JBD traded for Dylan Cozens, Dennis Gilbert & 2026 2nd

Norris injured?

Taken from Buffalo hfboard

" Well, that didn't last long on Norris
Dealing with a issue he had and being evaluated by Sabres per Ruff"

Yes, this came out last week. It doesn't sound like the shoulder.

Keep in mind, he was hurt recently. So it's possible that with Buffalo out of the playoffs maybe the context of playing through the injury changed. Although, I don't think it has been completely clarified.
 
i think the 2nd probably related more to JBD who is a young D and still developing, versus what we got back on D.

It was probably Gilbert for JBD.

JBD was probably worth a late pick if a team badly needed a body on D with NHL experience.

I see Gilbert for JBD as a swap where Buffalo is done with Gilbert and we need a fighter. Basically a free wallet for Buffalo. They get to test drive JBD and if there is nothing there, he won't get qualified since he is eligible for arbitration.

He did'nt seem that injured when he started the little kerfuffle against Detroit last thursday
