The Buffalo Sabres are remaining patient
TSN: Darren Dreger said the Buffalo Sabres aren’t panicking and while teams are calling the Sabres, they’re asking some of their younger players like Jack Quinn.
“Adams isn’t doing that, I mean, that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. He is open to a trade that helps them now, but that too is common sense. You can’t force it.”

“But, you know, I’ll say this, like, there’s, there’s a lot of noise around their team. I think there’s a lot of questions about where this is all going to go and, you know, and I think this too, like, I think the real danger thing that they’ve got now is, don’t do anything they’re going to later regret.
Like, I think there are a lot of teams sniffing around (Dylan) Cozens and I know he hasn’t played well. But he’s a right-shot center in a still a young kid.
And I would be terrified if I was the Sabres about making that deal.”

Gregor: “Some of the best trades are the ones you don’t make.”
Seravalli: “Crazy. But now they’re faced with a situation where, what do they do contract wise with him? Like, he might totally blow the whole thing up, because, like, think about it from a long term perspective. They’re going, okay, Jesper Wallstedt, he’s he’s going to be our, our next guy, right?”
