The Buffalo Sabres are pinned to the bottom of the Eastern Conference with the trade deadline approaching. While this core got close to the playoffs the last two seasons, they have fallen dramatically this season.

The Calgary Flames are holding down the last Western Conference playoff spot just days before the trade deadline. While general manager Craig Conroy wants to reward his team, he cannot mortgage the future for a rental piece.

The Sabres are looking for NHL-caliber players at the trade deadline which could lead to a quiet deadline for Kevyn Adams.

Dylan Cozens rumors swirl as the Wild eye a big move. Can Minnesota land the Sabres' center? Deep dive into potential trades and insider insights.

The past two years in Buffalo have tested Dylan Cozens’ resolve and challenged him to find the scoring touch that he has shown everywhere he's been.

Very suddenly, it seems like the Minnesota Wild could have a little bit of wiggle room at the trade deadline. If Joel Eriksson Ek's injury keeps him out until the end of the regular season, the Wild could take advantage of LTIR and free up $5.

With the trade deadline just eight days away, GM Kevyn Adams has said he is not looking to be a seller and wants to make hockey deals that would bring back players currently in or ready to play in the NHL if he trades players currently on his roster with term remaining on his deal,

Alex Tuch and Tage Thompson scored goals for the Sabres to ignite the comeback. Buffalo finished with a 36-20 lead in shots but went 0-for-4 on the power play. Montreal went 2-for-5 with the extra man, with four of its opportunities coming during the first period.

Rasmus Dahlin's late goal forced overtime, but the Sabres were plagued by familiar problems in a loss at Bell Centre in Montreal.

MONTREAL -- Mike Matheson scored 1:21 into overtime, and the Montreal Canadiens recovered from blowing a three-goal lead to push their longest winning streak in three years to five games with a 4-3 win against the Buffalo Sabres at Bell Centre on Monday.

The Sabres need to move pieces at the NHL trade deadline and have very distinct dream and nightmare scenarios.

The Buffalo Sabres could be the most talked-about team in terms of players being on the move prior to the NHL trade deadline, but whether anything comes to fruition will be up to the quality of offers GM Kevyn Adams receives before 3 pm Friday.
