Dylan Cozens needs more appreciation and respect in Ottawa
Dylan Cozens, Ottawa Senators | Scott Taetsch/GettyImagesWhen the Buffalo Sabres traded away Dylan Cozens to the Ottawa Senators in March 2025, it was a shocking trade with Cozens spending his whole career in Buffalo.
Cozens fit in well in Ottawa last season with helping the team end its eight-year playoff drought. Even with a strong 21 games after the trade, not everyone was on board about Cozens' potential this upcoming season.
This past Summer, Cozens was criticized with his contract being named the worst on the Senators, and by Buffalo media. However, with how his first full season is going in Ottawa, Cozens deserves more appreciation and respect for what he's doing this season.
