He bought the Bills. They got really good. He's building a stadium for the Bills. That's what changed impo.

I want to add because it's part of your argument, I do agree that if Adams is getting trash offers that he should continue to do what he's doing.

That's because Friedman gets his into fed to him by player agents but that's not what he's going to get in arbitration and not what the Sabres offered or he'd be signed.

I'm good with 3 years of Byram in exchange for 6 months of Mitts. At this point, I think Byram on defense makes us better than Ryan Johnson or Bryson or more minutes for Samuelsson

Yea... sure he could. "According to AFP Analytics’ offseason contract projections, Byram is worth roughly $5.2 million on a one-year contract. That’s a useful starting point for estimating his award." https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6477038/2025/07/06/bowen-byram-sabres-salary-arbitration/ A couple days in UFA is what? 85% of all unrestricted free agents gone.

Ftr, I think Adams picking arbitration and removing an offer sheet, while also setting a deadline basically, is smart.

Didn't you just say "Waiting for the Byram saga to end may have hindered getting one of the remaining free agent forwards signed"? Make up your mind. No he won't. Also, man, you wanna talk about reading takes again... see what I just quoted.

Not what I'm saying. I'm good with arbitration but this could have been sorted out sooner. No. Like trading prospects for a legit top 6 player

If a guy with 12 million in cap space can't sign a mid level ufa because Bo Byram, he's ***** at his job.

He thinks 1 step at a time. We're on the Byram step now.

Lol nonsense, or Adams is more incompetent than I thought.

If only Kevyn Adams realized you can trade Byram for futures and then trade futures for what you need. But he doesn't.

Yea... someone reminds me again what Pegula built in his 1st couple years as owner? Pegula used to care is my point.

We could just sign him to a medium term deal and then keep him.

Can't be offer sheeted
