Buffalo Sabres GM Reveals Who He's Not Trading

The Buffalo Sabres are set to unload some major talent this summer as a number of their veteran players want a change of scenery. General manager Kevyn Adams has been extremely active talking trades with several teams, however he's recently admitted there's a few names he's not dealing.

Adams mentioned to Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic, the Sabres have a good idea of what their young core consists of:

I think it’s building. I think that’s the right way to say it. We have a lot of young players that are talented. Sometimes, when players come into the league at a really young age, some people feel like maybe they’re older than they are. But guys like (Rasmus) Dahlin, (Dylan) Cozens, (Casey) Mittelstadt, these are very, very young players. So, we want to build. And I’ve been energized about this young core of Sabres we have that are hungry, and they want to be part of the solution. … These guys are proud to be Buffalo Sabres, they want to fix this and get this right, they want to move forward together. So that’s the young core that we’re working to build around. We need to do a lot of building, we need to surround those young players with the right people, the right culture every day, with players who truly love being a Buffalo Sabre and want to get this right

Adams omitted Sam Reinhart and Jack Eichel from his core and it's obvious both players are on their way out.  Gear up Sabres Mafia, your team is going to look mighty different come puck drop next season.
