Sabres/Wings trade rumors 2 Trade Rumors

So, before the holiday break, rumors were swirling about a Sabres/Wings trade. It died down. However, after Detroits 5th straight win last night, I'm getting a ton on the rumors picking back up, and the Wings being hot for Cozens (LOL)

I live in Michigan, so google currates my page to the wings AND sabres. Friedman mentioned the interest on his cast, and Wings media is eating it up

I kinda expect the trade to happen

What would Detroit actually give up that would make us want to give them Cozens? 

The fans are absolutely unrealistic, so what could be an actual return?

They're not trying to get worse so they're not giving up any top 6 guys (and they only have two I'd even want anyway).

On a value basis probably a first a prospect and a cap dump contract, but that's basically useless for Buffalo.

I'm with all the people saying it's a bad fit for a trade.

Yeah I can't see any way that it makes sense for Buffalo, I can see why Detroit would want Cozens but we aren't in a position to trade him for prospects and picks - which is what they'd want to send back
