The Buffalo Sabres are currently "very active" in trade scenarios involving several players, most notably defenseman Bowen Byram, according to a report from Darren Dreger of TSN.
Per Dreger, Byram has emerged as a "hot commodity" on the trade market as multiple NHL clubs look to improve their defensive depth. The young blueliner, who was a high-profile acquisition for Buffalo last season, is drawing significant interest from teams across the league as trade discussions intensify.
In addition to the trade buzz surrounding Byram, the Sabres have reportedly circled back to forward Alex Tuch regarding a potential contract extension. With free agency looming, the organization is exploring the possibility of securing the veteran winger's future in Buffalo to avoid him reaching the open market.
The Sabres are identified as one of several clubs currently exploring significant roster moves. While no transactions have been finalized, the high level of activity surrounding both Byram and Tuch suggests the front office is aggressively evaluating its options to reshape the roster.
