You're not getting a sure thing when trying to acquire a young top 6 C.
Even with Eichel when he was traded, had serious red flags.
Cozens is about as good as we can hope for.
I just don't see Buffalo moving him at his lowest, when their biggest need is a solid 2C anyways. Maybe if you convince Kadri to not have the Sabres on his m-ntc.
I also really can't see the flames moving core pieces like Rasmus or Kadri right now given where they are in the standings unless these guys are demanding out and i doubt they're demanding out to go play for a team like the Sabres. It's not how the flames operate.
I'm starting to think that wolf will keep us from bottoming out for the next decade too, so the flames might need to make some really savy deals and find diamonds in the rough.
