Both players are NOT on the ice this morning at Senators practice.I’m told @Senators and @BuffaloSabres are working a potential trade which may include F’s Norris and Bernard Docker. #HockeyX— Kevin Weekes (@KevinWeekes) March 7, 2025Cozens has been on the rumor mill all season, as he's having his second consecutive disappointing season after a breakthrough 31-goal season two years ago. He has five more years left on a $7.1M cap hit, while Norris has five years to run on a $7.95M cap hit.Cozens has 11 goals and 31 points in 61 games, while throwing 148 hits. It's felt as well that he could take some of the fisticuffs duties from Brady Tkachuk. Norris, a physical player who can score goals, has 20 this season in 53 games, along with 133 hits, but has had a heckuva time staying healthy over the course of his six-year career, and the Sens were just ready to move on from him. If he can just get over the injury troubles, he can finally live up to that cap hit. Bernard-Docker, a depth defenseman, has played 13 minutes a night this season through 25 games. Photo: © Timothy T.
