It's not a good comparison, and Cozens is worth more than Rasmus and his contract is not a boat anchor because he is off to a terrible 13 game start.
If we can get Cozens for anyone that isn't in the long term plans, sign me up. Buffalo probably isn't running him out of town either though.

No Hamilton was a 25 year old who was being dealt to this third team at that age while Lindholm was a 23 year old RFA looking for the type of contract he signed with the Flames so roughly $5M for 6 years and was a consistent 0.5ppg player who was strong defensively. Hamilton made $5.75M with 3 years left at the time of the deal.
Andersson is very recently 28 and only has 1.75 years left at $4.55M but Cozens comes with a bloated contract and one year with more than 50pts which right now seems more like an outlier. He has 7 years at $7.1M left on his deal and turns 24 in 3 months
