One of those guys is young and not actually worth $7M, one of those guys is old but is actually worth $7M...that's the difference.
If you're a team that wants to win a cup this season or next season then Kadri is a lot more valuable than Cozens.
I think you just need to take some salary back (if Kadri was willing to waive).
If a team like the Islanders was interested for example (Lou was interested when he was UFA) then you could take back a contract like Pageau or something like that ($5M).

Kadri is much more valuable than Cozens over the remaining term of his contract. He has a much higher likelihood of continuing out producing Cozens over the remainder of the contract. That alone should make him a more tradable asset.
