Some more on Byram from the Athletic:
Byram’s on-ice results have never really been stellar aside from that one playoff run, but that’s partially due to injury troubles and having to play with basically everyone but Nathan MacKinnon’s line in Colorado. The team’s depth has taken a serious hit since its Stanley Cup win in 2022 and that limits Byram’s teammate quality given Cale Makar spends so much time with MacKinnon. In previous years he looked like a serious driver when it comes to individual possession-driving and it shows in Corey Sznajder’s tracked data.
Just last year Byram had the profile of a future star in the right situation: someone who can move the puck well in the defensive zone, defend his own blue line, rush up ice and create a serious amount of chances in the offensive zone. There may be other stuff he doesn’t do well that hampered his on-ice results, but skill-wise it looked like Byram had it. His puck efficiency was tremendous across the board.
That’s all changed this year; none of those facets have been true and he’s been below average in every regard except rushing up ice. It’s been a night-and-day change, one that speaks to a need for a change of scenery where he can show more in a top-four role.
Byram wasn’t getting that in Colorado, but he should get more opportunity in Buffalo — even with Rasmus Dahlin and Owen Power around on the left side.
This deal may not look perfectly fair at the moment, but everything hinges on what Byram can become. The talent and opportunity are there for him to make this a win for the Sabres. Can he take advantage of it?

Or byram is part of a bigger deal coming our way, im confused about the lack of return, sakic got his 2C for years now.

What fears me the most is we trade for a top 4 LHD, which means either power or dahlin are heading somewhere, and I do not see power having the balls to request a trade.
Im probably overthinking this.

To be honrst, i got drunk last night and woke up to this, i loved casey as one of our bright spots this year, adams saw him as 3C probably while he was better than thompson and cozens. Im not ***** happy about this , unless his demands were too much colorado stole him.

Why do people automatically think he would be a good POHO?
Pegula doesn’t want that. He wants Adams calling him 10 times a day.
Nothing will change until there is new ownership.
Life view of adams when pegula enters the building ? 😄

I would like him back, just to kick some fire into that room.

That purposeful slash (couldn’t see who did it) was intended to intimidate or hurt Dahlin… It happened a couple minutes before the period ended… Have to believe Dahlin mentioned on the bench or in the locker room between periods… Yet, there was no retaliation by any Sabre at the start of the next period… If Dahlin told his teammates what happened a Sabre should have taken the guy out and dropped gloves…
Sure it was a close game, but you have to respond to that kind of cheap shot on a key player.
We need a few grown men with stand up courage on this team. It can’t always be let go or fall to Clifton or a kid to respond.
If Dahlin said nothing and the team was unaware, I take back everything but the previous paragraph.
Do your job, Adams.
I could see granato say, lets not retaliate and take stupid penalties guys 😄

The shots on goal differential is so bad.
2 Phantom powerplays will do that.

Jesus high sticking penalty, puts his stick on the chest.

Jesus power wants cozens killed.

I do not doubt that Ottawa wil trade Tkachuk...they will trade anybody (as we saw with Debrincat) and I also have no doubt that it will NOT be to the Sabres or any other team in the same diviision. I also think they wil get much more then Calgary got for his brother (Calgary got burned big time in that deal). And I also have no doubt that there wil be many teams stepping up and offering all kinds of deals. KA wil never give away any of his beloved prospects, something Ottawa will demand in any trade. No One is getting Tkachuk from Ottawa for a bunch of vets (like someone mentioned Skinner...no way Sens take him)
My bet is the ducks and Zegras will be going the other way with some extra picks and players.
