This Bozo thinks Bjuestad can be had for a measly 2nd round pick.

It’s disappointing that we are gonna waste a breakout year by our core players bcz the bottom half of our roster might be the worst in the NHL.

8 years at $8M per as a baseline.

Are you comfortable with that deal for Cozens?
- kingcong39

No. I don’t think deserves that kind of cheddar right now

The problem is nhl teams last summer decided to throw stupid money at younger players.

Example tage contract

I'll be back when your phone time is up

Sure bud. Take a break, u need it 🤣🤣
Byeeeeeee

Cozens isn't getting 8m next year. He still has years of RFA

If he wants to get paid probably looking at 6-7m


I think closer to 6m

Yeah, but that's a pretty close package

You do realize things can change in an instant?

We've faced mostly back up goalies, and seems like we've played teams in the 2nd night of a double header.

Also, 110 games ago we were the worst team in the league.

Step back and realize how far we've come.
Management has put us in a great position

I'd like to wager.

Unless cozens signs a bridge couple year deal at 6 million.

Otherwise , everyone has posted and read the comparables

Its gonna be at least tage's contract, 7 for 50 m

If I am the sabres I am looking at a Ryan Johansen for Seth Jones type trade with one of our prospects.

Is this a rule for players coming off of ELCs only? Cause everyone else can be extended 1 year prior to expiration.
- TheSabresTaco

Guess I should have made it clear that it was league start date, when the final year of their deal kicks in. They could have extended Cozens over the summer.

I can't quite say what Cozens will gather. I'm wondering if they'll Dahlin him to get a couple more RFA contract years till the big boy contract. 3x5.5.

I will take that wager.

Its 25 games in. Chances of him averaging a point a game for the next 55 games are slim.

Alrite thought so. So really they could do it right this second. They won't, but they could.

Great post Boss. The stank of Eichel and Reinfart has left. Synergy extinguished.

I feel like Adams will play the long game. He might be thinking if tage took 3-4 years of garbage play might be worth to let Mittlefat ride it out.

Its just natural for lines to cool and then other lines to get hot. Our 4th line was our best line first 6-7 games.

Middlefat was hot first 15 games and stank now. Kids line really just started clicking after quinn got his peepee smacked.

Samuelson gets injured we suck. He comes back we good.

All this and it just sounds like we are a young team with big upside. Needs some upgrades that fit team chemistry. Jost was a good start.

Im sure ventura will find some gems.

- sabresfan69

I mean conceptually a type of trade like that is all well and good. But for the love of God and the sweet baby Jesus, not Seth Jones.

Make more sense to me than Chychrun

I know Cong is sounding the alarm that the price is only going to go up. He's most likely right. Would like to sign him before Zegras does.

It was just an example

Or Drouin for Sergachev

These are the best types of trades. 1 for 1 our young guy for yours that fills everyone's needs.

we need 4 more girgs...

also i was extremely pissed off when Samuelson scored a goal a few games ago

- Lunaion

Yeah that's the balance. Is he a guy you want here forever or do you want to have to deal with him in 5 years as a UFA like Matthews
