The MSG crew just mentioned the toughness Cozens brings to the lineup for Ottawa (they are playing the Rangers right now)

It’s only because of the injury concerns for Norris and a wild misconception around the league about Cozens on ice ability. He’s literally not good at anything. Norris bests him in every way.

Unless the return is a top 10 player in the league, yeah I don’t know why you’d move the pick.

So refreshing not having to hear “They must be getting traded” nonsense every time a player isn’t on the ice for practice.

I’ve been thinking about Owen’s comment that he had to stop being physical at a young age because he was always getting penalized. Not sure if there is any truth there but there have been brief glimpses of him being physical. Maybe he needs a hypnotist or something to bring his nastiness back. FTR, I don’t think it’s coming back. Would be a heck of a thing if it did.

I haven’t heard it anywhere but I always felt Quinn & Peterka were largely responsible for Dylan’s offensive success. Maybe it’s not the case but seeing every player buoyed that’s paired with Dahlin made me think of it. Samuelsson and Joker both have Dahlin to thanks for their modicum of success at the NHL level. It wouldn’t surprise me if it’s was similar with Cozens and his two former linemates. Don’t hurt your elbow patting yourself on the back

Not sure if this was posted earlier in the thread

Reminder

I can take or leave the 5th round pick they’d get for him

Reminder

Why? He’s been terrible for two straight seasons. Every player on the Sabres roster was worse when Dylan is on the ice.

I mean he wasn’t very good but he’d fight when needed.

Reminder

I know Gilbert doesn’t really move the needle but why is this org constantly removing any toughness that exists on the roster. It’s maddening.

Because it’s not true

Is he fine or is he fiiiiinnnneee?

I feel seen

Tage or Dahlin. That’s what it would take.

More like rough defense, amiright?

I’m glad someone said it. JJ’s defense is comically poor. No interest in putting the effort in to play defense. He’s a wonderful offensive player but let’s not act like he doesn’t have warts.

For Rempe and a first E5

There has been no indication from anyone involved with the Sabres that anything will be done anytime soon.
