Yes... The whole team for that matter. Less so with Power than the other two though.

If you're looking at asset value, kevyn got more value here compared to keeping mittelstadt. And his trade record actually is pretty decent, despite all of the doom and gloom in this fanbase.

They said both Byram and Quinn are on the market and Byram has packed up and left. Unfortunately it will be dipsh🤬t trading them so they won’t be serious moves to build the team into a playoff team.

Can’t this also be said about Power? Samuelsson, Clifton etc….

I'd honestly trade both.

I think Bears game is more translateable to the NHL than O'Brien but O'Brien has a higher overall ceiling.

Why is it an easy decision? What do you think Power has that makes him so obviously more important to keep?

Allowing Kevyn to do this trade sucks. Everyone in the league knows he's dead man walking so they'll try to fleece him.

I’d be fine dealing Byram if we had a competent GM, the guy traded for him with no plan in place. This is some top level incompetence right there.

He has been injured prior to his last end of season injury. If I recall correctly he played with a bad ankle.

I've posted this many times. When we got him, Byram was a sub 50% expected goal % player on a stacked Avalanche team where basically everyone was above. He also had cherry picked assignments with Manson and Girard getting the tough defense zone matchups that typically drop the %'s. On the Sabres he was always one of our worse expected goals too unless he was playing with Dahlin. We don't want him, nor his contract asking price. Had he asked me, I would have helped him move too.

They are trading the wrong player, but they couldn’t keep both Power and Byram. Oh well. Now what can we get for him?

Byram + prospect or pick for Noah Dobson. Makes a lot of sense in that the Islanders will be drafting a Dman 1st overall and we need a RHD desperately.

What injuries have been factors in Power's play? He's had INJURY (singular) and hasn't played since sustaining said injury.

Power has had his struggles as a young defenseman. That shouldn’t be surprising. And without a doubt, injuries have been a factor in his play. However, if the choice came down to keeping either Bryan or Power, that would be an easy decision for the organization. Without much consideration, Power would and should be kept and Byram dealt.

Noah Dobson is an RFA.

Cool. Now, trade him before the draft. If it's after UFA starts, Byram should sign a 1-year $4.5M offer sheet with some playoff team that needs a PP2 guy. Adams can either take a 2026 2nd or continue the redundant logjam of players and eat into the "no we don't have a self-imposed ceiling" cap space that is going to be set aside for JJP, Quinn, Levi, McLeod, and Kozak. (I'm now also praying that Kozak gets a silly $3M offer sheet where the compensation is a 2nd round pick and Adams is all... he's ours! And Kozak ends up being way overpaid, but good at his role.) Let the chaos go unchecked!

I looked at it as two connected trades: Adams traded down to acquire an extra 2nd specifically with the intent of flipping it for Malenstyn

I strongly believe Byram will be closer to the Reinhart/O’Reilly list of former Sabres than the Mittelstadt/Myers group when all is said and done. They better use him to fix this.

I like Byram’s game better than Power’s. I never get nice things.
