The Buffalo Sabres are reportedly open to trading their available first-round draft picks as they aim to bolster their roster ahead of the next NHL season. With a wealth of talent in the upcoming draft, the Sabres look to make strategic moves that could significantly reshape the team's future.

In discussions about potential trades, names like Alex Tuch and Jack Eichel have surfaced, raising eyebrows among fans. The Sabres' front office is keen on making impactful trades that not only benefit the team now but also focus on long-term success.
