In terms of concussions sustained, yes, I DID compare Byram to Crosby because it’s relevant. Your weak attempt to suggest I was comparing skill levels as hockey players is absurd. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Pegula & Co have ruined my fandom. I read the first few posts in this thread and was like who cares. I know nothing about Byram, and don’t care if Mitts is a Sabre or not. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 1 minute ago, Thorny said: Had nothing to do with what? Injuries are a continuing factor. Inability to stick with the nhl is a lost variable If Byram was only close in games because Casey was sent down while Byram instead was hurt, yes, it doesn’t diminish the injury concern Has nothing to do with the number of NHL games each has played in their first four seasons. Casey played in nine more to date and Byram will surpass that this season if he stays available. I’m not discounting availability here, but that’s a different argument for this particular discussion. The argument was made that while Byram was in the hospital, Mitts was actually playing in Rochester (never mind that Mitts already had 114 NHL games under his belt before being sent to Rochester) and I’m simply pointing out that Byram hasn’t actually played much less at the same point in their respective careers, regardless of games lost to injury or time spent in the minors.

Crusader1969 Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 1 hour ago, Thorny said: A contract to Casey would have blocked Byram’s path to being here This is absolutely not happening. This is the D add. We traded our best forward to do it. This is our guy I don't agree. Still have assets to move - Tuch, Joker, Samuelsson with the big club. Shame Skinner is stuck with them. Still have the #1 prospect system in the league...cant keep them all (at least i hope not) and a 1st round pick. or they can go the UFA route.

I like the gamble, he's a grade A prospect KA is buying low... and selling while Casey's stock is at an all-time high. I recall Casey dealing with some injury issues early on in his career as well. Buying low? You think Casey is buying low? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusader1969 Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 1 hour ago, seer775 said: Byram is averaging 37 games per season. He'd be a great hockey player if he, yknow, played hockey. But he doesn't. He's at the Doctor's office. Our top scorer was lost to a broken 3rd pair Defensman. Explain how that is good. Time out...lets not forget Casey basically missed the entire season 2 years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If our best forward can’t even get the right shot we need, I struggle to see why lesser assets would I mean this in sincerity: you shouldn’t hope for someone as good as Byram because we just cashed in the most valuable chip we had and that’s what it was worth Also we were ranked mid-pack on lots of prospect lists.

thewookie1 Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Just dissatisfied, didn’t have any interest in Byram from the start for Mitts and that’s all we ended up doing. Yay, another skinny defenseman with little physical presence and who’s been a in perpetual nosedive since his rookie season. then the Bills just ripped out my heart so I’m just numb atm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
