I adore this contract. Cozens is a phenominal player and this will age gracefully. This and the Tage contract are absolute steals and set the stage for a stacked Sabres team that will dominate for years to come

Great contract. He is going to be very good in the near future. He already has a nearly at a point per game.

The Sabres are going to be great in the near future. Thompson, Samuelson and now Cozens locked into great long term deals, really wish they weren't in the Atlantic

Man it really feels like things are starting to turn around and go in Buffalo's favor. Such a deep prospect pool and already some great contracts given out to their young stars.

My boy Kevyn Adams is out here playing Franchise Mode with these long term deals. Good for him, this one looks like a great one.

Really good signing. This will be a good base for Caufield's contract.

good signing but Sabres are gonna be in some cap trouble in 2 years ...... resigning Dahlin, Power.... hopefully Krebs & Quinn don't get too good too fast...... then there's that unmovable Skinner contract and still don't have a goalie with term

14 million for your top two centres is pretty good. Pretty bad if you're a fan of a rival team in the same division though.

What a steal. After all those years, it's nice that Buffalo is seeing the end of the tunnel and that players want to play and stay there.

Game is 110% won up-the-middle.
So BUFF have 75% covered now @ 1C, 2C, Elite 1D; next up, ELITE G-Man...

Amazing contract especially since he's breaking out this season. If he continues to play with Tage and they keep putting points up like they are this season it'll be great in the long run. Cozens is 100% coming into his own player. He deserves this contract. Only players beating him in his draft class for points are Zegras and then Jack Hughes and arguably Seider is a better player with one less season and only 20 points behind.

Heck yeah, for as sour as the Horvat signing was, this is equally gratifying
