As the March 7 trade deadline approaches, the Buffalo Sabres are gaining attention in the NHL, with general manager Kevyn Adams actively seeking roster improvements. Key players including Dylan Cozens, Alex Tuch, and Bowen Byram are rumored to be potential trade candidates. While the Sabres are reportedly uninterested in draft picks, they may have to consider such offers for Jordan Greenway and Jason Zucker if they don't re-sign before the deadline. Adams is keen on executing a trade reminiscent of last season's acquisition of Byram from the Colorado Avalanche.

Reports indicate that the organization should prioritize re-signing Byram, who is an RFA this summer with arbitration rights, potentially commanding a contract of at least $9 million per season. Additionally, the interest from other teams in Cozens suggests his high trade value, making his retention critical for the Sabres' future.
