Kane keeps Eichel happy in the short term but what if Kane walks in 2 years or has a reasonable drop off in production as he nears 35 years old?
I get why the Sabres would go after Kane but with how great Cozens was at the world juniors I would hesitate to give him up for what could be a short term scenario and would either keep him or move him for another long term piece. Buffalo still lacks a decent second line center long term so Cozens makes sense to keep. If they could dump Skinner though then it is a different situation.
I could be wrong but I do not know of many examples of when a team has traded a top 10 pick who is looking like a top prospect for a guy who is 32 or older?
