Multiple firm trade offers have been made but ignored by the Sabres!
Insider Frank Seravalli reports that teams have been making offers to Buffalo, but no one is hearing back. Get full details below:
Owner Terry Pegula might have met with his Buffalo Sabres in a private meeting for a pep talk ahead of last night’s game against the Canadiens in Montreal, it did not change a thing. The Sabres lost their 11th straight contest, 6-1 this time vs. the Habs, and have plummeted to last in the Eastern Conference.
However, the feeling out of Buffalo is that no major trade is planned and on Wednesday, insider Frank Seravalli reported that despite multiple teams calling the Sabres to make firm offers on players, Buffalo is not returning calls or making counter offers at this time:
“Multiple teams have made firm offers for [Sabres] players that they haven’t even received counters on”.
The question is how long until those calls are returned? There is probably lots of interest for players like Dylan Cozens, Owen Power, Bowen Byram, and even Devon Levi.
Reports indicated that the Nashville Predators and Los Angeles Kings may be one of the clubs calling with an offer, along with insider Elliotte Friedman recently spitballing a deal that would see the Sabres ship Cozens and Byram to the Vancouver Canucks for Elias Pettersson.
In his meeting, it is believed that Pegula gave his vote of confidence to GM Kevyn Adams and coach Lindy Ruff, along with informing players not to expected a big trade.
I mean something HAS to happen in Buffalo to save this franchise, and clearly, rival teams are coming in with options, so why not consider all offers at this time?
