The Buffalo Sabres nearly traded Dylan Cozens to the Detroit Red Wings before the NHL’s holiday roster freeze. The Sabres have taken calls on Cozens throughout the season and could send the former first-round pick out of town before the NHL Trade Deadline.

The Sabres have the assets to entice Vancouver into a trade. The bigger question is what, exactly, Buffalo might have to give up.

The Sabres haven’t found the right partner for Power since he was drafted first overall in 2021 and arrived in the NHL in March 2022.
