Buffalo Sabres forward Dylan Cozens is likely heading to Switzerland to join Team Canada for the upcoming IIHF World Championship, according to @DarrenDreger. The roster addition comes as Hockey Canada looks to bolster its squad with NHL talent ahead of the international tournament.
While the initial report from @DarrenDreger tagged the Senators, Cozens is a key member of the Buffalo Sabres and brings significant professional experience to the national team. Team Canada management is also reportedly awaiting word on several other players who were recently eliminated in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. These potential additions are expected to fill the remaining vacancies in the lineup as the team prepares for competition in Switzerland.
The process of finalizing the roster remains ongoing, with officials monitoring the availability of players from across the league. Cozens has been a frequent participant in the national program, and his inclusion provides the team with scoring depth and familiarity with the international style of play. Further announcements regarding the full roster are expected once more players confirm their availability following the conclusion of their respective NHL seasons.
