Flames Have Intriguing Trade Option in Sabres’ Dylan Cozens - The Hockey Writers Calgary Flames Latest News, Analysis & More

The Buffalo Sabres have reportedly gotten calls on Dylan Cozens, a player who could be of interest to the Calgary Flames.

Cozens for Kuzmenko, Honzek, and picks....

Does the writer explain why they think the 1st rounder would be of interest to Buffalo? All Adams has said for months is that he wants to make moves to improve the team, not trade for picks and prospects.

Just seems like another writer with no clue about Buffalo.

That is absolutely the case.

But, it shows the challenge of trying to turn players like Cozens into upgrades to the NHL roster. You are likely to get more of these kinds of offers than being able to trade Cozens + futures for a veteran top 6 center that can improve the team now.

Tell them we need top 4 RDs and top 6 C.

My guess is that they hang up at that point.

Well, maybe not for Cozens alone, but there is an unclear situation, either they want to do a rebuild, or a retool.

Cozens for Norris?

Cozens for Norris?

I do not see the point in swapping Cozens for guys like Norris or Zegras.

Struggling U27 guy for struggling U27 guy is a making a move to make a move thing for me and unlikely to really improve things.

Cozens for Norris?

Interesting, although his shoulder is a concern.

If Calgary keeps falling - and they should - I could see them dangling Weegar. Cozens is still held in much esteem here in western Canada. Just a thought,

I would rather they try making a prospect/pick based deal around a guy like that.

I think Andersson might be a more likely player for them to sell.

I want 26 year old weegar.

I want 26 year old weegar.

I want waiver claim Forsling too. But here we are.

Not sure why but it feels like Weegar knows enough about angles and positioning to remain viable as a defensive defenseman as his skating erodes with age.

 

[TheMistyStranger]

Who says no in a DC for Weegar swap? Money is relatively even.

Eh, I would not like that deal. Buffalo takes on the age risk for sure.

That's fair (as long as none of our center prospects are included).
