In a vacuum, I'd give Cozens for PLD. But in a cap world... I don't think we have the right pieces or enough need to be in the conversation for PLD. Winnipeg makes a ton of sense there. When I read this I thought one thing... with regards to the work ethic Cozens had. No way I would give up Cozens... everything about him screams he has the right attitude for the game. 33 minutes ago, dudacek said: The Dubois trade talk brings back very painful O’Reilly memories for me. They are very much comparables and should net similar returns. We all know that’s not going to happen. And then this was posted... PLD is ROR. Perhaps he's not as talented, but I'm not interested in acquiring another Eeyore. People fawn over ROR constantly. They point to the SC he won when he left Buffalo. They completely ignore why that happened (it wasn't ROR) and they ignore his comments. They point to how he "lost his love of the game" and all that and attribute that to Buffalo. The dude lost his love of the game in Colroado as he forced his way out there. Now's the "C" in St. Louis and but for the fact that division is so weak the Blues would be near the bottom. He's going to lose his love of the game there as well. He thinks he means everything to a team and wants to be adored. He's a really good player, but his need to be loved is too great. It won't be long until he falls out of favor in St. Louis and we'll see the same thing happen again. Dude is tied for 10th with 7 other players on the Blues with 1 freakin point. PLD's antics in CBJ wreak of ROR. No matter how bad you want out you don't dress for a game and then pull the crap he pulled on the ice. As a teammate I would have dragged him all over the locker room for it. Glad he's not going to be the Sabres problem. Let the Jets deal with it. 6 minutes ago, Scottysabres said: Raanta's on IR, no? He is. I wonder if there's any chance the Sabres are considering some way to move salary to Arizona and in return take Hossa's contract? I honestly don't even know if its possible but perhaps the Coyotes want Okposo so he can play with Larsson? 🙂 (That's some delusional thinking right there). But with regards to the complications, trying to deal for a goalie on IR would fit the bill. Edited January 23, 2021 by LTS added to my Cozens thought.

I just can't think of any other goalies "out west" that are on the block.

More than any other Sabres media figure, if memory serves. Erod deal at the trade deadline last year was one, if I remember correctly. I think there was at least one other. 2 minutes ago, tom webster said: FWIW, I believe Chad has the kind of sources that can be trusted. What he is reporting isn’t really news.

nfreeman Posted January 23, 2021 Report Posted January 23, 2021 MAF could be exactly what the doctor ordered for the Sabres -- in terms of both filling a major need on the ice but also in demeanor, experience, etc. Certainly the cap part of it is tricky. Vegas would need to either keep part of the cap hit or take someone like KO in return. Let's get this done, KA.

GASabresIUFAN Posted January 23, 2021 Report Posted January 23, 2021 To disgruntled players for each other. Yawn. The Jets are better off because they got a top 6 center. Laine isn’t Ovie. Roslovic is a fine middle depth player. My guess is CBJ trade Laine this off-season.
