General Manager Kevyn Adams met with Sabres players Wednesday to quell any possible concerns about Jack Eichel.
"I'm going to keep saying it, we need to build around people that want to be here for the right reasons," Adams said.
Eichel has five years remaining on a contract that carries a $10 million cap hit. He will train elsewhere and won't be around the team during training camp.
Dahlin, the recent recipient of a three-year, $18 million contract, is expected to practice with the Sabres in front of fans in LECOM Harborcenter on Friday.
