Cozens hurt? Or maybe grueling haul of nhl schedule catching up to him in his first season?

Was wondering that myself last night. I think the grind of his first NHL season is catching up to him .

Maybe. You need to weigh the options vs necessity vs cost. I don't want to make a big post about it, but there's maybe 3 or 4 ways to go about it. And getting off scott free isn't one of them.

In his last 3 seasons of 165 gamew played, Kyle has scored 61 points...or 0.37 ppg which is a 30 pt pace over 82 games.

That is not bad production for averaging about 13 min per game.

The Sabres could send him down to Roch for the next 1 or 2 seasons and free-up about $1.1m per.

I would think the best move would be to send him down this year and let on of the kids get some playing time...then Buyout his 1 year remaing contract after next season.

Buffalo already has a young Larkin.

Hopefully they have a Decision on sam already so things dont get messy trade him if he doesn't want to sign long term

Here’s one of those 30 pointers that could never be as valuable as James Van Riemsdyk

You realize you are trading his rights and that value is going to be super low.

Cozens is having one of these type of comparable rookie seasons:

Gp 70 goals 8 assists 14 points 22 -6 +/- 14 pins 7% shooting 115 shots 161 hits

Gp 39 goals 4 assists 9 points 13 -13 +/- 16 pins 6.7 shooting % 29 hits

A) His shooting % is unsustainable at over 30%
B) he's playing the best hockey of his life.
C) Contract year.

Said to be coincidental that the statement came out yesterday. But why are you firing your president and GM three days before the end of the season?

These two are incorrect

It’s because his line mate Joel Eriksson-EK and Jordan Greenway have both taken the next step and become very good young players and Foligno, who’s good, has benefited on the score sheet.

It’s not because Marcus freaking Foligno found his offensive touch at 29 years old

But yes, evaluating him as a 50 point player seems like the way to go.

You should be a player agent

Wonder if the Rangers tweet crossed the unwritten line with the nhl?

The nhl is a business and 1 of their franchises spoke bad of the organization.

Might be a no no

Maybe they want to operate "leaner" as well. Hasn't Chris Drury been the heir apparent GM?
