Buffalo Sabres Exploring Trade Options For One Of Their Most Talented Players
The Buffalo Sabres are reportedly exploring their trade options for one of their most talented players: Dylan Cozens.
One of the most disappointing teams this season has been the Buffalo Sabres. Many years into their rebuild, they haven't been able to get off the bottom of the Atlantic Division's standings with a 16-21-5 record.
With the trade deadline slowly approaching, the Sabres appear poised to get rid of some players, and that could be the case with Dylan Cozens.
According to The Fourth Period's David Pagnotta, Cozens could be traded in a multi-player blockbuster trade.
The reporter added that he believes the Vancouver Canucks, Carolina Hurricanes, Chicago Blackhawks, Detroit Red Wings, and Nashville Predators could be interested.
Here's what he wrote in a recent paper:
"Cozens is in the second year of a seven-year contract and the Sabres have been testing the waters on him, making him available. Buffalo GM Kevyn Adams is open to trading him, but it seems like if a move happens, it will come in the form of a multi-player blockbuster.
Teams Reportedly Linked:

Among these organizations, we believe a deal with the Canucks, Blackhawks, or Predators seems more likely to happen. We would also add the Pittsburgh Penguins and the New York Rangers to that list.

Cozens, 23, is in the second season of his seven-year, $7,100,000 AAV contract. His organization had a lot of faith in him following a 31-goal season in 2022-23, a rhythm that the forward hasn't been able to keep in the last season and the current one, scoring 18 goals last year, and only nine in 42 games so far.
With a few NHL stars reportedly available on the market, such as Elias Pettersson and J.T. Miller from the Vancouver Canucks, or Mika Zibanejad from the New York Rangers.
