You're right it does not

Our GM and AGM valued Kasper very highly at the draft and they won't trade Cozens unless he return, Imo.

Yea, I believe any trade would begin with Kasper. Maybe tack on a 2nd or 3rd round pick and a veteran to help with the salary balance.

Im sure the Wings fans saying they dont want Cozens would have suggested similar trade proposals for Sam Reinhardt when he was fixing to depart Buffalo.
Cozens is big, he uses his size pretty well from what Ive seen and he drops the gloves on occasion. Inject some fun and a fresh, positive start into his game and I see him as, at least, a 50 point player. I would not be thrilled losing Kasper, but I think Yzerman is looking for someone who can take on 2nd line duties today rather than hoping one of our C prospects develop into that in a year or two.

So now Detroit has to pay a premium to massively downgrade its roster.

Time to lock the thread mods.

Because beach ball is bigger than puck. That’s why joke is.

I don't see this trade happening unless Adams sells insanely low on Cozens. Which isn't out of the realm of possibility, because he's a doofus.

You didn't pick up on the sarcasm

Too much risk having that $7.1m contract. He's a 40-50 point forward. One outlyer year doesn't change that fact.

He'd be worth the risk if his contract was 2m less, assuming the ask isn't much. 7th overall drafted players busts, look no further than Zadina. Difference is Cozens is a useful 3rd liner... albeit grossly overpaid.

Ain't touching that contract! Wings are not in a position to take on cap dumps. Try the Sharks maybe.

It's clearly a joke. Lighten up francis.
