Byram is two years away from UFA status.

Yup, so you just match the 1yr offer sheet. Oh no, we have Byram for another year, the horror.

Coronato and Weegar for Quinn and Byram 😛

Okay, I laughed at this from EP on Coronato "He boasts playmaking ability, especially off the boards, has a decent motor with solid defensive fundamentals, and is sturdier than a refrigerator."

The Sabres have more than $20M in cap space and only Bo to sign.

Only thing preventing them from matching an offer is themselves.

If they’re trading him, they are getting at least a 1st, 2nd and 3rd back in relative value.

Adams still doesn't know where Byram fits.  He still can't figure out what Dahlin's partner needs to be.

If Bryam is Dahlin's partner, you sign him to a multi-year contract, and even over pay a little to nail down your first pairing.

If he's not Dahlin's partner, you trade him, because he's a potential 1st pairing guy that you don't need.

It's that f'n simple.  You have the money.  He's willing to be here.  But you're too stupid to know what a partner for Dahlin, your franchise player, needs to be. So you fart around until you lose all leverage.

Adams is just the worst.

Somebody call up that television producer to get his take.

I missed the TSN discussion but Now Yerdon is saying the same thing.

Byram has played 5 years pro. You need 7 to become a UFA.

Puckpedia says he's eligible in 2027.

Unless there’s some weird nuance I’m missing here, these guys didn’t do their homework

ESPN's Emily Kaplan reports the Carolina Hurricanes, Washington Capitals and Tampa Bay Lightning are among the teams pursuing Nikolaj Ehlers. 
 

if I’m Ehlers I go to Tampa

If I want a path to the ECF -- meaning don't run into Florida or Toronto in the first and/or second round for the 1st three years of my new contract -- I choose Carolina.

They did. Misled us simple-minded online-TV watchers.

What'd you miss? We traded Eichel...

New CBA reduces the age you become a UFA. When does that come into effect?

Have not seen that ANYWHERE.  Not doubting you, but do you have a link?

They ARE shortening maximum contracts from 7/8year to 6/7 year.  But haven't seen any reports of the age/service level to reach FA getting reduced.

Answer:  Real owner and management team without shackles.   Hughes is vastly superior on his first day in charge than Adams is 6 years later.

No, you're right. I mis-remembered the max contract as UFA age. My bad.
