Sabres ask that Conroy has his phones taken away and is removed from the league. Cozens is a non starter.

If the Sabres have a young center that could shake loose, it'd be mittelstadt.

I know a lot of people are going to **** all over this trade , so I’ll say The issue so much isn’t so much the talent, it’s more the fact that it’s Dylan Cozens who will be 23 in February and signed to what will end up being a bargain as the cap continues to go up. Plus, Buffalo is ABSOLUTELY NOT adding a first or any capital to the deal, and has also proven to be a vital guy for the culture, who plays his ass offf, and is young

Lindholm is another Bo Horvat to me. He will easily return a first but for the Sabres, unless he’s a rental, I have no other interest. He’s going to command and ask for 8-9 million on the open market for 7-8 years, and historically we know how those deals play out.

Hanifin on the other hand, in terms of 1 for 1 value for Cozens even if he came with an extension wouldn’t be enough because Cozens is still in the upside phase of his career and plays a premium position. He’s a guy they are keeping and building around.

Holy hell…. That’s an easy “NO” from the Sabres

1- Cozens is pretty much untouchable

2- the time when we *MIGHT* have been willing to trade for Hanifin is passed
Signing Power to a big$$, long term extension- instead of a bridge- basically eliminated the idea that we might add another high priced defenseman contract

3- i like Lindholm, really good player. He just isn’t what the Sabres are looking for with all the depth at Center we have
