The Buffalo Sabres are actively seeking to enhance their roster via trades as they strive to end a 13-year playoff drought. Despite interest from other teams in players Dylan Cozens and Bowen Byram, general manager Kevyn Adams has firmly stated he will not trade either player, emphasizing the need to strengthen the team.

Byram, who joined the Sabres from the Colorado Avalanche, has quickly become a key defensive asset. Cozens, despite a slow start, is also seen as a crucial part of the team's future ambitions.
