He's not ready.

There's no chance in hell St Louis offers to Thomas because they singed Suter. That's a 3rd line center.

Konsta Helenius? He's not even remotely ready for the NHL. That's nuts.

He's the only good ufa left, not sure he needs to use anyone for leverage.

Verge? To quote Clark Griswold, look around Hellen! We're at the 9th circle of hell.

Cannot disagree more

Why cuz he hits things? He's not that good defensively which is the major problem for a "defensive defensemen"

I would take my Sabres sweater, cover it in feces, and ship it to Adams office if he made that trade. It is not a home run deal to trade Bo Byram for a worse defender who is signed long term to meh deal when you can just sign Byram. Byram is even younger than Bahl. I hate, that trade with the fire of 1,000 suns.

Here's the press scrum from earlier

This looks like an 83-85pt team to me. I think Lyons will be able to start more and will get more starts. I think the defense will be better. I think they will score less goals. Another 3 wins seems reasonable but idk why I would expect another 8.

Y'all no you don't have to tender him right? You could just sign him outright and move along. Also he's better than Bryson and we really can't afford to pay the 7th defender on our team 1.5mil for 1 year? I call *****.

Tis a direct quote

Kevyn Adams on Byram: “A lot of conversations with his agent right now and nothing’s changed in the sense that we believe Bo is an excellent hockey player who can help our team win. I maintain the same position that if there’s a deal out there that makes sense for us that we think is going to improve our roster, we’re open to it. If there’s not, we’re not in a situation where we’re looking to move him out or looking to move him for futures and stuff like that. For me, we want to help our team win hockey games, and he does that.”

Well the Sabres start to gut the roster of all talent it will be like what happened before. Until then, trading an unprotected 2026 first for a team that has been a lottery team for the past 14 years, is foolish.
