Not what Buffalo needs and also puts a hole in Buffalo's lineup.

We don't need Buffalo to become the farm team of the NHL.

 

[Coffee]

Sabres say no

 

[DatDude44]

Not sure either team does it. But I love the creativity. Sandin Pelikka in buffalo with dahlin power and byram would be crazy.

 

[My Cozen Dylan]

Doesn’t help the Sabres at all.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Maybe I'm overrating prospects but I wouldn't do that as Detroit. As much as I rag on the rebuild ASP is one of the few with very high potential. Cozens is very meh to me.

 

[tsujimoto74]

Probably one both teams say no to. ASP seems like a very fine prospect. The Sabres don’t need any more goddamn prospects.

 

[Zman5778]

At least it would be a right shot offense-first defense-meh defenseman????


Yeah, no. Doesn't fit a need for Buffalo other than him being right handed.

 

[RedHawkDown]

No thanks

New profile picture ? Nice

 

[hamzarocks]

The Sabres need a D-man like Slavin, Spurgeon, Tamev, Vlasic (both the current hawks on and San Jose one whose retired now I think) but one who is in mid 20s with term and can come and play tough match up minutes and bring puck transition abilities without the need for high offensive situations (not a strength in this players game)

Those type of players usually are overvalued and need to be drafted+developed as its hard to acquire.

ASP is a very good prospect but his style and role/usage conflicts with likely better players of similar roles in Byram and Powers.

 

[Rowlet]

Can't imagine either team does this

 

[KevinRedkey]

No chance I entertain this if I'm Detroit.

 

[theVladiator]

No from Detroit. If Cozens were a clear 1C level guy, maybe one could discuss. Cozens trends as a middle-6 guy at the moment. We have a couple of guys for those roles in the pipeline (Danielson/Kasper). ASP type guy is needed way more in Detroit.

Just thinking out loud, are there any of those currently in the NHL in their mid 20s? Faber is really one of the few I can think of under 30. Even then most of the guys in that category classify moreso as a 1D that are out there right now (Faber included).

wouldn't trade asp for thompson, let alone cozens

Sabres said no first

Alex Vlasic as well I'd say

Edvinsson possibly too

Though overall its hard to find those type of players since they wont be made available unless for a big time overpayment

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

thoughts ?

Wings have 2 blue chip center prospects and a 1C in Larkin. So Cozens is not a need.

They are super thin on defense, and ASP looks like a future superstar in the making. Cozens looks mid two seasons in a row.

Thoughts?

That's a bit much

Aside from size, I'm not sure those two have really established themselves as good shutdown guys yet. Seider is probably closer, but he's a bit more of just an all around 1D right now.

Carlo

Good call, thought he was 30 not 28.

 

[Breakers]

Buffalos owner would go nuclear at this trade

You think he cares about prospects

I was expecting the Sandin-Pellikka WJC hype train trade proposal much much earlier.
I half-heartedly think the Yzerplan is to have a team consistenting of entirely Swedes.
