Friedman: Red Wings interested in Dylan Cozens

[McJedi]

Cozens for Nate Danielson (C) + Trey Augustine (G) or Cossa (G)?

Keep your 7m/yr 40pt bottom sixer.

Buffalo is not trading for prospects

Buffalo has Levi in the minors who is rated higher than cossa and they have ratzlaff starting ELC next year

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Of course they are, every team in the league should be, this would be a HUGE mistake by Buffalo

 

[Unbiased Fan]

You’re saying you keep him as if he would ever be available for trade, he would never be, and certainly never for Dylan cozens.

If Bedard demanded a trade from Chicago, left the team, signed contract in Switzerland. I’d bet a lot of money Detroit would be willing to part with ASP + for Bedard or even Elias Petterson.

 

[SuperScript29]

We don't need a 7 million dollar bottom six player. I hope this is fake news.

Instead of stat watching, I'll ask:

What does Cozens do well? Is he a high motor kind of guy? Just snake bitten this season? How's his skating? Can he PK?

Obviously a career high of 68 doesn't spark much joy against his cap hit.

When Cozens is on his game, he's Jeff Carter 2.0. Skates very well, has sandpaper to his game, can shoot incredibly well with some underrated vision, is good defensively and on the PK. And he's improving in the faceoff dot.


Problem is......he hasn't really been like that for 18 months now. He'll show it on some shifts and occasionally in some whole games.....but he truly just looks lost. Some on the Sabres board pinpoint a direct decision of his during the offseason after his breakout (as in Summer of 2023) to try to become a consistent 40+ goal scorer instead of becoming a more well-rounded player. Some speculate that this decision has stunted his growth as a player and ultimately slowed his overall development.

Red Wings get: F Elias Pettersson
Sabers get: F J.T. Compher, F Vladimir Tarasenko, LHD Albert Johansson, F Marco Kasper, Red Wings 1st round pick.
Canucks get: F Dylan Cozens and G Cam Talbot.



This is the way Buffalo. Help me, help you, while helping Vancouver too. ; )

I think this is the winner for shittiest offer for pettersen

 

[Jimmybarndoor2]

I think Detroit wants Cozens and they have not offered what Buffalo believes is sufficient so no trade

Pretty aimplw

Pretty crappy pu-pu platter that the Sabres are getting too.

Cozens and Byram OR something centered around Power for EP40 just makes WAY too much sense for both teams.

 

[KJoe88]

Compher+Holl+1st/Danielson

Cozens+Samuelsson

 

[Dr Amazing]

Seider for Cozens

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

On a strict value basis -- Cozens for Danielson and Cossa/Augustine isn't awful, though Detroit likely needs to add another something.

Ostlund + Levi + "Something" for JT Compher.

 

[SirloinUB]

This would be a risky move for Detroit.

Cozens is working on his 3rd 40-50 point season. as opposed to 1 70 point season. He has a big cap hit and, from what i've read, better suited as a winger than a center (not sure if that last one is true?)

 

[VeteranPresence]

Cozens is working on his 3rd season of putting up 40 points. You don't think a modest projection for Danielson is a half point per game center?

And Danielson can't even do that at the same age Cozens was when he played his first full NHL season and put up 38 points. Sure that's not very impressive but Danielson can't even match that, he is a very milquetoast prospect who will be lucky to ever reach Cozens' career high.

That was Cozens' D+3. This is Danielson's D+2.

In Cozens D+2 he was posting a whopping 13 points in 41 games in the NHL. Something Nate should definitely be jealous of, no doubt.

Wow. You really don't like Danielson as a prospect.

It probably doesn't help that you are comparing apples and oranges though.

FYI: Cozens 38 point season was his D+3 year while Danielson is in his D+2 year.

 

[RedHawkDown]

The only way this works is if it's a buy low situation that Buffalo fans would hate. We have nothing on the roster that we would give up for Cozens that Buffalo would want, and Buffalo doesn't need any more futures.

These two teams make bad trade partners in terms of what the fans think. Let's see which GM infuriates his fanbase more if a move is made.

This is terrible for Vancouver lol.

 

[RedHawkDown]

Cozens for Nate Danielson (C) + Trey Augustine (G) or Cossa (G)?

​

Would not give up any of those prospects straight up in a 1 for 1 for Cozens. And Buffalo probably wouldn't even do it either because the last thing they need is more prospects. Like I said there's not really a deal to be made here.

 

[tsujimoto74]

It's hard to believe that Terry makes all the moves; he doesn't interfere with his other team like that.

It's obvious that Adams is a bad GM here. I doubt Terry told him to keep Jokiharju and not look for a top 4 RD for Power, and before that for Dahlin. Zero sense.

He doesn’t interfere with the other teams because he’s less of a fanboy with them. It’s specifically his love of hockey that makes him such an atrocious NHL owner.

13 points in the NHL > 3 goals in the AHL. Danielson's just not a very good player, there's no lies there.

Weird that you cited Cozens' points, but only Danielson's goals.

Well, it's his team too. I just don't understand how it works. What specific decisions does he make and what doesn't. I don't like Kevin Adams as a GM anyway because I think he's a bad GM. We already knew Terry was a bad owner. I think he's involved, he's interested in drafts and other aspects, but I don't think he makes trades or doesn't make them (maybe some because of money). Isn't the owner of Canes as meticulous as Terry? But they're making the playoffs just fine.

:mod edit:

If Blue Jackets fans had offered Brindley as a centerpiece in a Cozens trade I'd be calling them out too. Same energy. There's a universe of difference in values between the players and levels they're playing at.
