While the public and rival teams may start speculating about the future of the star defenseman in Buffalo, he has no desire to leave the Sabres.

Buffalo Sabres forward J.J. Peterka has been creating some buzz in the rumor mill as of late with the trade deadline just about here. According to Daily Faceoff's Frank Seravalli, the Sabres have had serious trade discussions about Peterka with the New York Rangers.

Sabres captain Rasmus Dahlin and general manager Kevyn Adams had an hour-long meeting to discuss the state of the team ahead of the NHL trade deadline. On Tuesday morning, Paul Bissonnette said on the Spittin’ Chiclets podcast that Dahlin told Adams if things don’t change quickly he’s going to want out of Buffalo.

Buffalo has missed the playoffs for an NHL-record 13 consecutive seasons, and with the team sitting at the very bottom of the Eastern Conference, that will extend to 14 consecutive seasons very soon.

Rasmus Dahlin denied a report that he would like to move on from the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday. The 24-year-old defenseman was asked after practice about a report that claimed he recently told general manager Kevyn Adams he would like to leave Buffalo,
