[Rumour] Rangers in advanced discussion for JJ Peterka

[Ped]

Yeah, no doubt, it's not hard to understand why people think Cozens could bloom away from there. Reinhart, Montour, O'Reilly, Eichel...

[Paulie Walnuts]

Eichel and O’Reilly were good players not sure how they are comparisons to Cozen.

[Ped]

Both players had issues in Buffalo, especially where their leadership was questioned. Both left Buffalo, and now each have a Cup. FFS it wasn't saying Cozens was going to turn into Jack Eichel. Just that there is a pattern of Sabres players struggling in various aspects in Buffalo, and excelling elsewhere.


You don't have to turn everything into a Cozens slam. Even if you don't understand it, it's not hard to think that some teams might see an opportunity there.

Reinhart is perhaps a better example.

In Buffalo he was a ~20 goal and ~50 point guy. Then in Florida he turns into a ~80 point guy and puts up a few 30 goal seasons with a 57 goal season too.

Cozens could easily follow the Reinhart path of being okay in Buffalo and then playing up to his draft pedigree somewhere else.

Sabres have re-signed Zucker for 2 years, 4.75 per

I can put together a whole team of ex-Sabres currently playing in the league that's easily better than the current Sabres

Rodrigues - Eichel - Reinhart
Skinner - Middlestadt - Kane
Compher - O'Reilly - Armia
Carrier - - M. Foligno

Montour - Zadorov
Ristolainen - McCabe
Kulikov - Myers
E. Johnson

Ullmark
Johansson

Can add Cozens to that too. And Taylor Hall. Olofsson is having an okay season for Vegas. Girgensons could be a 4th liner. Bogosian still playing a role on a playoff team.

Hagel was drafted but Buffalo but wasn't signed.
