They are not keeping 55, they want a second line center. Unless all talks breakdown on a trade he is gone. He wants out and they want a player gone who doesn't want to be here - Buffalo39
No there will be a lot but cozens Will tap out at Brandon Dubinsky - gerbe75pts
Exactly what level of hockey did you play at? And how long have you been a professional hockey scout and/or G.M.? I guess guys like Bob McKenzie etc don't know what they are talking about.
I'm on the corner of first, and first. Wait a minute. How can the same street intersect with itself? i must be at the nexus of the universe! - SabresFaninIndiana

zegras was his second choice, give it a rest
claufield was NEVER going to be drafted by the sabres with their first pick - homiedclown
I think Botterill was surprised Cozens dropped that far. Probably why they were having extra meetings with Zegras, as they expected Cozens would not be available.
Zegras should have been the first choice - gerbe75pts
We have eichel and Cozens at 6'2 ish ....... both can skating, amazing speed, amazing skill (eichels is definitely better), great skaters, and can snip.
Mitts is your small 6 ft uber skilled center.
Basically botts has 2 giants strong horses at center .... then mitts.

detroit taking a german opened up doors that were never expected to be open
there is a reason zegras was the next guy taken up front and the midget was taken 8 spots after cozens

So we're just going to trade every player we have that doesn't want to be here ? What if they all demand trades ? At some point, this has to stop. Can't someone say "Eff you - you're staying and you're going to play well for us".

You can trade them when they aren't a cornerstone piece.

I expected the Wings to take Zegs, and I was fine with “settling for” Cozens. I liked Zegras ever so slightly more, but I’m happy with Dylan either way.

Can’t honestly claim to have understood all the complex nuances of such a sophisticated comedy at the time. But I immediately gravitated to blustery character actor M Emmet Walsh.
