The 24-year-old defenseman and Sabres captain was asked after practice about a report he recently told general manager Kevyn Adams he would like to leave Buffalo, which hasn’t qualified for the Stanley Cup Playoffs since the 2010-11 season. It’s the longest drought in the NHL.

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.

As if the Buffalo Sabres do not have enough drama with the club heading for their 14th consecutive season outside of the playoffs, defenseman Rasmus Dahlin refuted a report from TNT panelist and Spittin Chiclets co-host Paul Bissonette that the Sabres team captain met with GM Kevyn Adams and wants out of Buffalo if the club does not improve quickly.

Buffalo Sabres captain Rasmus Dahlin vehemently denied the suggestion that he wants out of Buffalo after a popular podcast suggested otherwise.

: Dahlin has responded to Bissonnette’s report saying there’s no truth to the rumor that he asked for a trade out of Buffalo. “I don’t know what he’s talking about. I have never said I wanted out of here.

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.
