    Then there's this...

     

    If its under 7mil with 5 or fewer years, you match it and in a year revisit it. 

    If they offer anything in the 2 1sts/4 1sts range rhen you let him go and use the added assets to create a trade elsewhere

    The only team I might let take Byram at the 1&3 level is SJS. Then you just trade the lower of 2 1sts next year and get a more effective player

    Fowler has a 4 team trade list. My guess is that the Sabres are not one of the 4 teams he would accept a trade to. 
     
    The Sabres would need a D back I think. And the Blues would need to shed some space to extend Byram. Would Broberg be a good partner for Dahlin?  Broberg and Neighbors for Byram and…

     

    Are we sure its 4 he's willing to go to and not just block 4 teams?

    We could still try to convince him since he's from Windsor however.

  8. Bo Byram ultimate final prediction

    If I were Adams I'd find the best Western offer and barring absurd difference to Eastern teams send Byram out for picks and then use those picks to get a Rakell. Sadly I don't Adams has the imagination to even fathom 2 trades. I won't trade him to Toronto or another divisional opponent

    You would think he could move Samuelsson to San Jose for anything just to clear the cap space. I like Bo and the only reason I'd move him is because of cap concerns and personally feel we need more help at forward now based on the current state of the roster and again emphasis on Center as to me it's a blaring hole. 

    He won't regardless of if he could.

    You trade him and create a hole you can't fill on D. Sign him for 2 years, play him with Dahlin.  See what happens

    As for the forwards.  The Sabres are a draft and develop team it's time for one of their high draft picks to grab the bull by the horns and take a spot in the top 6

    Quinn - we know he can do it. Hopefully becomes the player we thought he would be prior to injuries 

    or Rosen -  This is it for him.  Hopefully not a tweener (AHL / NHL) but he has to show it this year

    Helenius - has a shot, they said he was close coming into last year... probably starts in AHL but hopefully takes a big step forward 

     

     

     

     

     

     

    You can’t sign him 2 years or he walks to UFA

    No interest in Andersson; he did a nose dive last year stats wise and I have zero interest in trading Byram for a rental that we may end up trading at the deadline or having to use as a rental of extreme cost.

    These things are in the eye of the beholder, but I’d say he’s better.

    This sets a benchmark and is line with what similar players have returned in the past

     

    I'd say Byram is better to be honest but value wise they are likely close if not equal.

    A 2026 1st with some protection, a 2026 2nd and a lesser roster player. Depending on the offers an offer-sheet compensation could be preferable due to the lack of conditions on the 1st.

    Jeremy White retweeted this. Not sure how credible.

     

    Terrible targets seeing as most of the players are either rentals who want to be UFAs or Bot 6 guys akin to the Peterka trade.

    Ideally if you can pull off a Miller-esc trade return you could turn that 1st and Rosen into Rakell and call it an offseason unless someone comes knocking for Muel. 

  15. Sabres sign UFA Goaltender Alex Lyon to 2 year 1.5 million dollar contract

    Essentially, by the time Levi reaches his potential, he'll be on the brink of UFA. Tuch may already be gone. TNT and Dahlin could be demanding trades. And then Levi walks, just as Ullmark did, because there's no money in the organization that had Hasek to pay a proven starting goalie. (Under this current GM/owner combination.)

    Levi needs to be able to take the time he needs to reach his peak; goalies are also complete voodoo in terms of scouting.

    Aside Allen who got a rough contract for what he is, Lyon was the best on the UFA market arguably. They all have their warts but Lyon has successfully gone nuts for 2 months and took a team to the playoffs. 

    The only goalie worth inquiring about in trades was Demko but he got re-signed and I guess Silvovs whom might anger Levi and be the new Robin Lehner of Calder Trophy winning caliber goalies.

    I’ve been thinking the same thing.  As their styles, which are extremely ordinary in the NHL, are somewhat foreign to our group of snipers and danglers, will stand out amongst the passengers.  They are engaged, intense and willing to do what is necessary to win. 

    Effectively, because they can’t find engaged players for the Top 6 that can fit perfectly into the role; they’ve thrown darts at multiple lesser players who fit the role with the hope it can help push our skill guys just a bit harder. Doan, to me screams potential for Top 6 Power Forward but there are no guarantees when you have to shop in the potential or vet bins.
