The Buffalo Sabres' season isn't off to a promising start, but the team's front office isn't ready to deal away its most valuable assets. At least not yet.
The Buffalo Sabres aren't willingly going to move All-Star forward Tage Thompson before the 2026 NHL trade deadline, but that doesn't mean a deal is completely off the table.
Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reported Monday on the 32 Thoughts Podcast that Buffalo has "zero" interest in trading Thompson, who's produced two of his best performances of the season since trade rumors began to swirl, but the NHL insider noted that's only half the equation.
