Overview

  • The Ottawa Senators received forward Dylan Cozens, defenseman Dennis Gilbert, and a 2026 second-round draft pick from the Buffalo Sabres.
  • In exchange, Buffalo acquired forward Josh Norris and defenseman Jacob Bernard-Docker, both of whom bring key skills and experience to the Sabres' lineup.
  • Cozens, 24, is in the second year of a seven-year, $49.7 million contract and has 31 points in 61 games this season, aiming to bring scoring depth to the Senators.
  • Josh Norris, 25, joins Buffalo on the third year of an eight-year, $63.6 million contract, adding middle-six depth but with some concerns about his injury history.
  • The Senators currently hold an Eastern Conference wild-card spot, while the Sabres rank last, signaling different priorities for both teams in this trade.
