It will be quite a happy birthday for Cozens on Thursday, when he turns 22. His goal total is much higher than Cozens, but he has played fewer games and scored fewer points at a less demanding position. His 117 points in 150 games do trump the Sabres’ center, but that has also been on an Anaheim Ducks team with virtually no competition for powerplay touches and offensive deployment. In both cases, this contract will be held up as a comparable. It’s quite a group they are building in Buffalo, with plenty of financial flexibility to keep adding. The fact that he plays center is a huge factor here. Any line led by Thompson and Cozens should be rather successful, especially with defense pairings anchored by Dahlin, Samuelsson, and [Cole Caufield](https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/c/caufico01.html?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.prohockeyrumors.com&utm_campaign=2023-02-07_hr), who is also from the 2019 draft and is in a negotiation with the Montreal Canadiens.

The Buffalo Sabres announced they have signed forward Dylan Cozens to a seven-year contract extension worth $49.7 million.

He is in a great spot to continue producing at a high level, but not an elite level.

But Adams is likely budgeting for a significant increase in the cap ceiling for the 2024-25 season, when he’ll owe new deals to his two first-overall picks on the blue line, Rasmus Dahlin and Owen Power, as well as another pair of first-rounders up front in Casey Mittelstadt and Peyton Krebs, and emerging star goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen. “Just couple that with love of the game that he has, the love of the game of hockey.

He brings guys in with him, he drags people into the fight, per se, which is a real indicator of his leadership and leadership ability going forward. Last season, he delivered a crushing open-ice hit on Toronto's Auston Matthews late in the outdoor Heritage Classic, then banged on the glass as a spectator while his teammates put the finishing touches on a victory. He memorably fought the New York Rangers' Ryan Lindgren as a 20-year-old rookie in 2021. He has 17 goals and 43 points in 49 games, both eclipsing the career-best totals he set in 79 contests last season. Cozens, the seventh-overall pick by the Sabres in 2019, is having a career year in his third NHL season. Cozens scored the overtime winner that night on a breakaway, sending a sold-out KeyBank Center into a frenzy.

If bigger, better things are coming for Dylan Cozens, the Sabres will be laughing to the bank with this one.

That’s one reason to maybe have pause, but it’s more likely that the model is putting a bit too much stock in Cozens’ first two seasons where he was still finding his NHL footing. So to invest this heavily in him, it certainly helps to see that he can be the pivotal player on his line instead of just a passenger benefiting from the players around him. For Cozens to be worth it, he only needs to be a solid second-line center — and those days already feel over for him. Cozens looks like the real deal with his ability to drive offense. That’s first-line center territory and it’s only his third season — this is probably just the beginning for the 2019 seventh pick. It worked flawlessly for Thompson which granted the Sabres front office a lot of leeway for these types of big bets. At five-on-five, he’s able to drive play for his line and get the puck into the offensive end. So considering 1) his play and potential 2) the league trends around him 3) the Sabres’ cap situation, this is a good bet for Buffalo to make that can become even more team-friendly as he progresses. He only has 169 NHL games of experience to his name, but the most recent play — 49 games this season — has been the most encouraging. It’s also slightly above average but in the cap hit percentage range a team should be striving to keep their 2C in. But it can be a good risk to take when it’s for a young player, like soon-to-be 22-year-old Cozens who has a ton of potential. That’s far more ideal for a team versus a seven-year deal to an aging star, who probably will be in decline for much of that contract.
