Dylan Cozens on the Move? Sabres Trade Rumors Heat Up
Alright, Sabres fans, let’s talk about the elephant in the room—Dylan Cozens. With the NHL trade deadline looming, the Buffalo Sabres are making headlines for all the wrong reasons. It’s been a rough season, to say the least, and now, trade talks are swirling around one of the team’s most promising young players. So, the big question is: will the Sabres stick it out with Cozens, or is he about to be shipped out?
Let’s take a step back for a second. The Sabres have been pretty quiet on the trade front this year. Besides a minor league deal in January, they haven’t made a single move since acquiring Ryan McLeod last June. And let’s be honest—that deal worked out pretty well. But with the team sitting dead last in the Eastern Conference and playoff hopes completely out the window, you’d expect some serious changes, right?

Now, Henri Jokiharju seems like the most obvious trade piece. He’s on an expiring deal, and it doesn’t look like Buffalo is planning to keep him around. Whether that’s on him or the team is up for debate, but it’s clear he’s likely on his way out. However, the real shocker is that Dylan Cozens has become the center of trade discussions.
This is a guy who was supposed to be a key piece of the Sabres’ rebuild—a young forward with speed, skill, and leadership potential. Just last season, he put up solid numbers and looked like he was taking that next step. So, why move him now? Well, that depends on who you ask. Some believe the Sabres have been disappointed with his development, while others think it’s about getting a big return for him while his value is still high.
If Buffalo does pull the trigger on a Cozens trade, it has to be for the right price. We’ve seen this team make questionable moves in the past, and the last thing they need is to give away another young talent for pennies on the dollar. And whatever happens, let’s hope they don’t send him to a Stanley Cup contender—because watching a former Sabre lift the Cup somewhere else is getting pretty old.
Realistically, the major shakeups will probably come in the offseason, but the trade deadline still presents an opportunity to make some strategic moves. If Cozens stays, great—but if he goes, the return better be worth it. Either way, Sabres fans deserve some kind of progress, because 14 years without a playoff appearance is just brutal.
So, what do you think? Should the Sabres keep Cozens and be patient, or is it time to move on? Let the debate begin!
