Is it possible Cozens is better? He is a CHL boy after all
- TheSabresTaco

He could be like josh Allen he has the same exact story which is cool

But I don’t think Cozens will ever reach his potential he will likely have the same body as Tyler Myers and people will complain that he can’t put on weight and get Stronger

But I still wish the Sabres Would sign VO now

Whatever imaginary OS gets sent to VO, the Sabres will either match or get way more compensation than he's worth, which won't happen, so they'll match, hypothetically, because it won't happen

Why do you say the things you say

I’m just pointing out that TM never picked VO if he was making the selection it probably would’ve been a a big ass dude That couldn’t skate

It's the worst take over seen here. Dont complain about botts and the CHL then.

I would rather sign him for 2.5 -3 now for 5 years then pay him 6 or 7

That’s a whole different situation

Do the Sabres make the big ticket deal today to show FA's they want they are serious about winning and to raise the excitement level?
- GilPerreault11

No.

What do you think he would rather do? When you come up with the answer.

Then ask yourself why would he sign for 5 years.

I think he'd take the gerbe deal, honestly

Talking with some NHL GMs/execs today, several feel that this weekend feels like the trade deadline, given the volume of calls they’re making/receiving.

- TheSabresTaco

It’s a opinion ..

He is a string bean right now maybe he gets bigger etc but I feel he will just have a body like Myers and RNH

When young players see dollars and haven’t proved anything they’re likely to sign it quick happen with Wayne and some guy In Nashville

VO is going to light it up this year I will say 30+ goals

Yeah, he's a 7th round pick who worked his ass off to beat the odds. If you put $15m(5/$3) in his face, he's gonna cash his chips in, I bet. He takes the deal

He's 18 dude. They're all weak. Jack Hughes is weak AF

- jcragcrumple

I dont think there is a chance he takes that. Look at how we feel about him as fans. How do you think his agent feels about his potential pay day?

And I would hope the sabres would do it ..

I remember lots of people laughed at the Philadelphia Flyers for signing Wayne saying it was just a “ Lucky “ year and just a 3rd line player

Randy Sexton clarified the Ruotsalainen situation. As I mentioned yesterday, if he doesn't make Buffalo, Finland has to allow him to play for Rochester and he himself also needs to want to play for Rochester. Sexton calls this a "remote chance". So in reality, he's going back to Finland if he doesn't make Buffalo.

Or his agent, who probably never expected to see a big pay day for a 7th rounder, sees a chance to cash out on $15m at 3% for $450k and tells him to take the deal

- TheSabresTaco

So you can say the same about RNH and Sam b etc Myers looks exactly the same when he left

Some people just stay that way he had zero muscles which is fine

I would do that deal 3m is nothing if he becomes just a “Kotalík”

Jeez, Curtis Lazar's stats REALLY suck. Why are they considering him ???

So Myers is the model for all tall people. Then I guess the 7th OA pick, since it's historically successful, means Cozens will be good, directly contradicting your prediction that, he's tall, so he'll be like Myers and not put on weight.

And the sabres should sign Hartman if they want a “ tough dirty guy “ probably be good on the 3rd or 4th line

At some point they need to take some chances to create value contracts. Other than ELCs, the only value contract the sabres had this year was largemouth bass
