Buffalo Sabres: Rasmus Dahlin responding to the report that he wants out of Buffalo.
“I don’t know what he’s talking about. I even have never said I need out of here. I’m not pleased with where we’re at, I don’t need to lose. Now we have to get well. I’ve never said I need out of here, I believed that was pretty clear…
That bugs me, actually. I get pissed off by that. I haven’t even mentioned the work ‘leave.’ That’s just the way it is.”

Yaremchuk: “Frank, there have been some interesting comments over the past week. Each by Paul Bissonnette about Rasmus Dahlin, perhaps being like, ‘I don’t know the way badly I need to be in Buffalo,’ and I’m paraphrasing just a little bit. Dahlin comes out and sort of adamantly pushes back against that.
But I suppose I need to ask you not only smoke or fire on Dahlin, but smoke or fire on the concept that there could possibly be a handful of players in Buffalo at the top of this yr go, ‘if we’re restarting, count me out.’”
Seravalli: “Alright, so I’m gonna go false alarm on Dahlin, due to all of the players that we’ve heard talked about thus far this yr in Buffalo, and being in last place opens yourself as much as so a lot of these conversations. Two guys that I didn’t hear in conversation in any respect were Rasmus Dahlin and Tage Thompson. I’ve heard Owen Power. I’ve heard, you realize, undergo their roster, obviously, JJ Peterka being on the trade board, and Dylan Cozens and all these other guys definitely on the market.
That said, I do think that there’s, it’s not only smoke, but it surely’s fire, that there’s an enormous majority of this roster that’s unhappy with the spot that they’re in. And doesn’t see, more importantly, a transparent direction on how they’re going to get out of the mess that they’re in. They’re not necessarily seeing the massive picture, and I can understand why people could be feeling that way.

So it’s, it’s a number of things wrapped into one, probably not seeing a path to be competitive. Numerous individuals are locked in in front of you with contracts and long-term commitments, and also you’re saying to yourself, ‘Okay, how can I, how can I get to a spot where we now have a probability to win and play meaningful games?’ And I feel there’s, it’d be weird if there weren’t 18 out of 23 players which can be upset with the situation there.”
