<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wojme</b></div><div>So now the Sabres have another 30 year old winger making 8+?

The Sabres don't need to sign him to a max contract. I don't think you're understanding the value of age difference as well.</div></div>

I understand contract value. Byrum is going to cost $8M per starting in 25-26 whether he's on Buffalo or another team...

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wojme</b></div><div>Says who?

Then the sabres have 3 centers making 7+ including buch that would be 30 at the time of signing.</div></div>

Buch isn't a center.

The NHL marketplace says that Byram will cost more than $8M

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Birtle34</b></div><div>I’ve moved on lol, savoie or kulich could probably bring something interesting at the deadline for some adds or rentals, along with the first, be nice to get a playoff spot early enough to be buyers.

I think Buffalo is looking for a shut down type RD
And a solid defensive 3C who can win faceoffs & play a bit of a 2way game at least
Other than that, maybe a bottom6 Pk guy or 2

My assumption, based on all I’ve read/seen is that the Sabres are looking to continue developing their young talent & not looking to make the big splashy moves u see on this site from desperate fans

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Birtle34</b></div><div>Ya kulich and savoie waiting in the wings also, blueline is nicely set and a matter of getting the goaltending that should come also. Plus another pick this year.</div></div>

Kulich & Savoie are complementary pieces at this point
Cozens is an untouchable core piece
Idk what else to tell ya?
Sabres aren’t moving him
They wouldn’t have traded Mittelstadt if they were willing to trade Cozens

Thread: MTL Day Dreaming 2024-25

Sorry my friend but there is not a soul on the planet that could defend any of these trades. You might better delete the thread and start again, I can give you a starting point on all of them if it helps.

Utah: this is the easiest fix just retain half on Dvo and its golden.

Anaheim: Hab's 2024 1st + Jet's 2024 1st for Zegras + Edmonton's 2024 1st

Necas: Barron + Mesar (1st + 2nd or 3rd equivalent)

Buffalo: this one is tough, maybe Dach + Mailloux + the Flames 1st. It is gonna be extremely costly.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Birtle34</b></div><div>Just better value on the 9 million spent on skinner, 6 oa along With there pick could be quite a draft, just pure speculation that the money could be spent better. Not to say any ufas rushing to Buffalo. So ya probably best to keep building from within, quite a team coming.</div></div>

The Sabres can get out of Skinner’s contract fairly painlessly after next season
Pick 6 is nice, just not needed, as the Sabres already have plenty of young talent

And they’re trying to win sooner than later,
so moves like this just don’t at all seem to be what they’d be looking to do

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Birtle34</b></div><div>For sure, it would be to change out the 16 million, but two or 3 older players with longer term and 1 top 6 elc for 1 up and comer, and 1 expensive 3 years.

U must have missed the part about Buffalo not looking to get rid of Skinner
And the part about having enough Cap Space

Your proposal doesn’t give the Sabres anything they NEED
Just more of what they already have & a hole at 2C

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Birtle34</b></div><div>Ya probably fantasy, Utah basically in need of that center to be 1b to Cooley 1a, An upgrade of Hayton or hopefully he figures it out quick. Cooley so young would be nice to find another center to go forward with, along with geekie.</div></div>

Sure, it makes total sense from the Utah perspective
But why would Buffalo want to move him?
Maybe before they traded away Mittelstadt, but now it just doesn’t make sense for them as they’d just be looking to fill their 2C role like u guys are

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Birtle34</b></div><div>What about 6 oa from Utah for cozens and skinner, 16 million in savings and 6oa?</div></div>

It would tempt some fans on here I’d think
But in real life, the Sabres aren’t looking to get rid of Skinner,
have enough Cap Space, & Cozens is pretty much untouchable

Perhaps the 'Couzins' you're talking about is not the same Cozens we in Sabreland know and will be watching as a two-way, 2C that's locked up the next six years at a very fair, in the least, contract.

Didn’t the Sabres have a better record than the Habs this year ?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Manfred</b></div><div>Cozens is over paid 7.1 Mil$ and would be a peace of mind for the Buffalo Staff in getting rid of this contract. But he still has a good value and Mtl would let go of one of the best NHL enforcer who is actually good offencively as a defenseman. He is a good hockey player while being a top enforcer. That is rare and all teams are hoping to get someone like this. Actually, Mtl is going to ask more then Cousins to let him go.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Manfred</b></div><div>Your comment reinforce my beleif that Couzins still has future potential.</div></div>

Yes, he does
Which is exactly why the Sabres would never even consider a deal like u propose
They aren’t moving Cozens, and they certainly aren’t selling him off for scraps & holding $2mil

Sorry dude, but that’s nuts

Good thing he’s already locked in at $7 million for the next handful of years. So they can enjoy him scoring 30 goals a year for awhile. If he were overpaid you wouldn’t want him.
I’m sure you’ve been watching him in the world championships, which is why you’ve posted this.
