<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Birtle34</b></div><div>I’ve moved on lol, savoie or kulich could probably bring something interesting at the deadline for some adds or rentals, along with the first, be nice to get a playoff spot early enough to be buyers. Savoie might be an idea for Utah, but not sure what the need is in Buffalo to make it make sense at the moment.</div></div>

I think Buffalo is looking for a shut down type RD
And a solid defensive 3C who can win faceoffs &amp; play a bit of a 2way game at least
Other than that, maybe a bottom6 Pk guy or 2

My assumption, based on all I’ve read/seen is that the Sabres are looking to continue developing their young talent &amp; not looking to make the big splashy moves u see on this site from desperate fans

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Manfred</b></div><div>Cozens is over paid 7.1 Mil$ and would be a peace of mind for the Buffalo Staff in getting rid of this contract. But he still has a good value and Mtl would let go of one of the best NHL enforcer who is actually good offencively as a defenseman. He is a good hockey player while being a top enforcer. That is rare and all teams are hoping to get someone like this. Actually, Mtl is going to ask more then Cousins to let him go.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Manfred</b></div><div>Your comment reinforce my beleif that Couzins still has future potential.</div></div>

Yes, he does
Which is exactly why the Sabres would never even consider a deal like u propose
They aren’t moving Cozens, and they certainly aren’t selling him off for scraps &amp; holding $2mil

Sorry dude, but that’s nuts

Good thing he’s already locked in at $7 million for the next handful of years. So they can enjoy him scoring 30 goals a year for awhile. If he were overpaid you wouldn’t want him.
I’m sure you’ve been watching him in the world championships, which is why you’ve posted this.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>SURE the Sabres are going to trade you three key elements of their future in exchange for one season of Mitch Marner.

Maybe the fact that concentrating 57.5% of the permissible cap in 5 players doesn't work -- a 6-year experiment that even the Toronto brain trust seems to have acknowledged has failed -- has escaped the Buffalo front office's attention, and now that Marner is a short-termer, Buffalo will take him off your hands and give you what you should have been assembling in the meantime.

Don't hold your breath.</div></div>

This board will be pure entertainment when the leafs trade Marner for a 2025 first and a prospect OR when they hold on to him to start the year because no team wants to take on his cap hit.
