Mr. MVP

This part must confuse Kevyn. “Wait, you don’t need to trade someone if they ask for it?”

Yeah. Not sure how guys like Quinn and Benson were even mentioned. This guy can’t be worth much. Worth even less because he can’t stay healthy.

No other front office (besides Columbus) will know him better. Jarmo will hopefully know if he’s worth the risk or not.

Mr. *****. Wait. You can’t say “come” on here?

Sorry. Who/what is EEE?

Saying BANG when he throws. What a loser.

Not sure if this has been mentioned in this thread (or the other Bryam thread, or the other Bryam thread). But could Anaheim use someone like Byram? Because we sure could use someone like Mason McTavish. He’d be an excellent 2C with potential to be our future 1C. The guy could be a future star. I’m surprised he hasn’t been sent an offer sheet.

And with their roster I don’t think they have any need for Byram. And unfortunately Kevyn doesn’t know how to do something like a 3 team trade to make it work.

Would they be able to get away with a protected 1st?

Oh ok. lol. Sorry I didn’t pick up on it.

I don’t pay attention to Harrington (don’t like him and don’t subscribe to BN). But isn’t he a critic of Pegula?

We could’ve traded him, right?

Doesn’t have to be with NIL. Terry could’ve offered McKenna 3 million to come to Penn St if he wanted to. Rules have gone out the window in college athletics.

Football players are getting 5 million plus. Crazy how little hockey gets.

From Bleacher Report (I gotta learn how to do this properly) “8 NHL Teams Already Looking Toward Gavin McKenna When you look at how much high-end talent the Sabres have, the first reaction you should have is that it’s insane we’re throwing them into the race for Gavin McKenna. And you’d be right, too! However, if you look at how the Sabres did things this offseason and wanted to take the pessimistic viewpoint of it, you'd feel pretty convinced that another long season is in store for Buffalo and the thought of restarting another rebuild with McKenna wouldn't be so bad. The Sabres dealt JJ Peterka to Utah for Michael Kesselring and Josh Doan, traded Connor Clifton and a second-round pick to Pittsburgh for Conor Timmins and a prospect and added depth players in free agency like Justin Danforth and Alex Lyon. They're in limbo (for now) with RFA defenseman Bo Byram who may or may not be traded. GM Kevyn Adams set out to make the team tougher defensively and harder to play against and they'll most likely be just that, but if the offense stalls out, none of that might matter because then they'll need goaltending to bail them out more often than not. Hoping that Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen rebounds/Alex Lyon steadies them/Devon Levi takes over the net only adds more questions to be answered. If Buffalo is in the hunt for McKenna by the end of the season, keep Sabres fans in your thoughts because next offseason would be immensely difficult. There's no reason for a team with Rasmus Dahlin, Tage Thompson, Alex Tuch and Owen Power to be in this discussion, and yet...”

I’m excited to see what happens with Byram, but I’m actually ok with Kevyn taking his time with this as long as he gets the best return as possible. Let the other teams battle it out until one finally offers the right deal.

Would Holloway or Byfield become our 1C? They gotta be a better option than Kulich, right? But then Kulich can slide over to wing?

He’s a future stud I tell ya! lol

Why I added Östlund.

I still think Byfield could be special. I think I’d even do Byram and Östlund (and that hurts because I really like Östlund) for Byfield and a 2nd.

He’s like our Helenius. A prospect the fans don’t want to get traded.

They just took Willander 11th overall last year I think?

“On the most recent episode of 'Strictly Canucks Talk', NHL podcaster Tanbir announced that Buffalo has specified what they want as a return trade from the Canucks. "Ask for Byram is a 1st rd pick, one of Willander or D Petey and a bottom 6 roster player."

Is Miller close to Byram value?

What about Kings? My wishful thinking dream scenario has Byfield coming back. Someone put me out of my misery and tell me there’s no way that’s happening.
