These two Sabres could have the potential to be moved if Buffalo wants to make a splash.

The Buffalo Sabres have had an eventful off-season, but it is fair to wonder if they might not be done yet. 

If the Sabres want to make a big splash before the start of the 2026-27, they could very well move out more of ther players. Because of this, let's look at two Sabres who could be traded before the start of the season.

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen

The Sabres have been connected to Winnipeg Jets superstar goalie Connor Hellebuyck this off-season. If they can successfully bring him in, it is very likely that Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen would need to be included in the trade package. The Jets would need a goalie in return for Hellebuyck, and Luukkonen has the most value on Buffalo's roster. 

In 35 games last season with Buffalo, UPL posted a 22-9-3 record, a .909 save percentage, and a 2.52 goals-against average.

Jack Quinn 

If the Sabres want to make a big move for a star, it would make sense if they included Jack Quinn in the trade package. The 24-year-old winger would be a valuable trade chip for Buffalo, as he is coming off the best season of his NHL career so far and is still young enough that he can improve further. 

In 82 games last season with the Sabres, he set new career highs with 20 goals, 31 assists, and 51 points.
