I feel like the Sabres will move Olofsson at the deadline this year to a western team that could use the additional scoring.

Ottawa has set the tone for the 8 year long gamble contracts and St. Louis followed suit, you're gonna have a hard time getting Cozens signed that low if he keeps up his strong play this year

Arguably I'd say NJ set the tone with Hughes. But I agree with you in Cozens. He is going to probably cost a bit.

Let's hope Ottawa isn't as good as expected this year and Buffalo learns from it and doesn't sign Kane and decides to continue to build this roster to win a lot of cups.

Rumor was this off-season he was looking for $6/mil per year in a long-term. Unless he has a massive break out year (ala Tage who only got $7+ mil) I think it would be hard to argue for more.

If Cozens puts up 30 goals like Tage last year did I could see him getting a similar contract ($7.5 over 7 years) but I don't really see it being any higher.

Tage is not comparable, one is coming off their ELC and the other is coming off their 2nd league contract. If Cozens puts up similar numbers as to what Tage put up last year he will certainly get more than Tage

I think Olofsson only gets moved this year under the right conditions

Kane is better individually than Giroux, I think a 3 year contract would be perfect

Signing Kane should never happen.

Would just destroy the vibes we built and be a massive distraction to a young team.

I doubt he wants to be here anyways

Olofsson is worth a first, but not to LA.
