Buffalo Sabres General Manager Kevyn Adams has recently addressed the speculations surrounding a potential buyout of defenseman Mattias Samuelsson. During a press conference, Adams firmly denied the rumors linking Samuelsson with a buyout as free agency approaches in 2025. The GM expressed confidence in Samuelsson's abilities and contributions to the team, emphasizing his role in strengthening the Sabres' defensive lineup.

Adams acknowledged the crucial decisions the team must make as they prepare for the upcoming NHL season, but reiterated that Samuelsson is an integral part of their future plans. Fans of the Sabres are keenly following the developments, given the importance of maintaining a cohesive roster to compete in the competitive Atlantic Division.

Samuelsson, known for his robust defensive capabilities, has been a significant asset for the Sabres since joining the team. The GM’s reassurance comes as Buffalo aims to build upon last season's performance and make a deeper run in the playoffs. With several changes in the roster, the focus remains on creating a solid foundation for success, and keeping players like Samuelsson is a priority for the organization.
