Buffalo Sabres Trade Rumors Heat Up as Lindy Ruff Sends Warning to Top Players, per Darren Dreger
Darren Dreger recently reported that Lindy Ruff was sparing no one as he sent a clear warning to his players that if they don't perform, they could be ousted.
The Buffalo Sabres are having another brutal season, and there's growing curiosity about just how much longer the organization can afford to wait before their fortunes begin to change.
According to insider Darren Dreger, General Manager Kevyn Adams is leaving no stone unturned in his search for solutions.
And you know, it feels unlikely, I just don't see it being plausible in-season that Adams is going to be given the full reign to go through another coaching shuffle, right? Like he purposefully brought in Lindy Ruff because he felt like he needed that level of experience and philosophy and structure and all the things I guess he did the things he had in Donnie Granato."

According to Darren Dreger, though Kevyn Adams is willing to move top players, his demand for equivalent talent in return has made finding a fit difficult to find.

Meanwhile, Lindy Ruff is looking to his leadership core for a turnaround. He recently gathered key players like Rasmus Dahlin, Tage Thompson, Alex Tuch, Dylan Cozens, and Mathias Samuelsson and told them they must take full responsibility for the team's performance.

With the Sabres finding it hard to get a good start, Adams and Ruff are under increasing pressure for results in a season slipping fast.
