I’m not gonna engage you in politics
Keep trying though…. I guess…?

How about you engage in defending a GM that sucked so bad he finished dead last, signed poopty contracts and had to trade away his best players some more then.

He's also on the number one power play unit now too, which means it'll help his production.

I'm trying to think of what kind of ski mask Sabres management would need to be wearing to get Cozens to sign a max term deal at $6.5M per.

history of production is the only thing on their side.

Same.

Would you rather do 3x5.5 and 8x9.5 after so you lock him in for the next 11 years (33 at expiration) or just 8x6.5 (exp at age 30)

- TheSabresTaco


Rumors at the time of the Tage signing were that the Sabres were beginning to talk with Cozens about an extension.

I'm curious: What makes you think Cozens would even consider a max term deal at $6.5M per?

Dude trolls me EVERY time he’s here & sees me posting
If he can’t take it in return, he shouldn’t dish it out

Everything in here was cordial till he came in with his typical bs

When he was 19 and 20?

I wish them buckets of good luck in that endeavor.

Because prior to the season I think he's looking at a 3x3-4 deal. Like I said before I think the only leg the Sabres have is one year of production, coupled with only buying 3(?) years of UFA. I really don't know. Ask me again at the end of the season.

Jason Robertson is two years older, had 2 years of high production and is a winger and he got 7.75

Brayden Point in 2019 got a 3x6.5 after 3 years of increasing, high production. Then got his 9.5.

Come to think of it, Josh Norris may be an excellent similar candidate. He got 8x8 after two years of production, not hitting ppg. He's two years older and they had to buy more years of UFA.

I think it's possible, if they do a full extension right now, to do 8 years, 7M.

I wonder if we reach the point that Jeff Skinner will need to be moved.

Von thinks he'll be ready to go in 6-7 months. Gives him all of training camp and preseason to ramp up.

I don't know the full extent of the tear, but if it wasn't initially spotted, perhaps it was only a slight tear.

If we get to the point where we have to move Skinner, that probably would be bc a bunch of the kids became studs & we had to pay them
I’d be ok with that
