Probably makes sense for both teams. What is it going to take?

Danielsson/Nygard + Wallinder/Tuomisto + 3rd?

I think the wings would prefer to hold onto Pellikka to fill for Petry or Holls spot.

Detroit is not trading ASP for Cozens lol.

I doubt they'd do Nygard either. Danielson is a slight possibility if they're really trying to push to compete. Cozens is only 3 years older.
 
Detroit gotta pay up you need to pay to get and Copp Compher isn't gonna cut it Buffalo should wait for the best offer.

I agree, I think Danielson should be the preference with Larkin/Cozens playing on the top 2 center spots, and maybe Kasper eventually taking Comphers 3rd line role. ASP is needed for their right side especially with his offense. Nygaard is also the physical scorer that they need to keep.
 
Cozens isnt a big upgrade over Copp or Compher, would be keeping status quo for the most part although he is young and can bounce back and still improve. I think Yzerman stays away unless Buffalo has their asking price lower than most expect.... I dont see any reason to gamble on a bounce back while tying up that much future cap space. Much rather find a stop gap 1 year option for this year, the bigger picture is more important than panicking over the Copp injury.
 
0.5 ppg, 3 more years after this at 7 million

Can any Sabres fans comment on the reason for the drop off in production?
Bad hockey IQ - decided to double down on his offensive game which is limited instead of focusing on his all around game and he is plummeting because of it. Believe he had a quote last year where he said “I want to score 40 this year instead of 30.” Should’ve sounded the alarms then as everyone knew we needed a 2 way C instead of a worse version of Tage.

This isn’t a Reinhart, Eichel or ROR situation where those guys are clearly good players.

You’re acquiring him to bounce back and hope he can find the potential he looked to have.

Point/game each season starting with his rookie year:

0.32, 0.48, 0.84, 0.59, 0.49

That 68 point season is really looking like an anomaly. Buyer beware.
 
It's a crisis of confidence. I expect him to settle in as a 60pt player, but I do think it won't happen until he gets a reset (EDIT) somewhere else.
 
Don't think Cozens is on the table with Jake Evans out there, now. Evans is the perfect replacement for Copp.
