As the NHL approaches the March 7th trade deadline, the Buffalo Sabres, currently languishing at the bottom of the Eastern Conference with a 22-27-5 record, are preparing for potential movement of key players. General Manager Kevyn Adams is open to trades, focusing on hockey trades instead of simply selling off assets for prospects or future picks. Three players are notably featured on TSN's Trade Bait Board.

Winger Jordan Greenway, who is a pending unrestricted free agent, is nearing a return from a middle-body injury. Meanwhile, Bowen Byram, an arbitration-eligible restricted free agent, has been impressive since joining from Colorado, posting a career-high 29 points in 54 games. Center Dylan Cozens is also under scrutiny, despite his long-term contract, as he continues to navigate a season of underperformance following a breakout year with 31 goals in 2023. Interest in Cozens is reportedly peaking, especially from the Calgary Flames.
