‘When projecting the Sabres’ possible expenses, it’s wise to focus on the player’s salary, not his average cap hit. According to CapFriendly.com, the team has approximately $49,248,810 in salary commitments to 13 players next season, including Cozens and two former Sabres whose contracts were previously bought out: Christian Ehrhoff and Cody Hodgson. This figure does not include players projected to play for the Rochester Americans in 2020-21.’
