It would be hysterical if Bryam gets an offer sheet.

A bunch of LHD either getting traded or signing changes the equation on Byram. 

[triumph_communes]

Yeah well if we got an offer sheet then we’d only get draft picks which doesn’t help us today, so we had to trade him for a backup goaltender so we could improve the team TODAY

[Mr Peabody]

Did KA shed salary so he could match a Byram offer?  Could that be why he can’t make a move?

Or is that giving him too much credit?

Bolduc was the piece from St Louis I would have preferred figuring Kyrou is unrealistic

Agent just called Dreger and said “Can you put a little pressure on that putz Adams? Bo is getting restless.”

He's meat on the Bone for other teams !  Cover him in a good marinade !  They can't resist !

Ahhhh.  This could be so big if we get this right or wrong.  He’s an important asset.  Adams has to get this right.

Dubas is still laughing about turning a 5th round pick into a 2nd within 114 days

It's like watching a monkey try to perform brain surgery.

Or Kevyn called him and said make it look like I am doing something 

[Mr Peabody]

Sign Byram and get Cuylle and I’d be content. 

[LabattBlue]

If I was Byram, no way do I sign an offer sheet, knowing this clown show might match, and then I am stuck here.

They were just discussing Byram on TSN.  According to their Insider-Panel:

- Byram is a year away from UFA status

- If a team offer sheets him at one year and $7 million, then the cost is a 1st and 3rd

- If the Sabres match an offer-sheet, the rule is that you can't trade the player for 12 months

- Thus, if the Sabres match a one-year offer sheet on Byram, they would not be able to trade him as he would hit UFA status before 12 months passed.

Does anyone know if this is all correct? Or did I misunderstand?

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.

Tops Moe-ray-all converting a 4 to a 2.

Wonder who'll be the GM to convert a 6 to a 2 courtesy of the good ol' blue and gold.

[DarthEbriate]

As TSN just discussed, you're a playoff team. Your 2026 1st is a lock to be 17 or afterward (or is it?). Offer sheet Byram for 1 year -- Buffalo can't match because if you match you can't trade him for a year (no deadline sweepstakes). That walks him directly to UFA next summer and... he alone is not getting the Sabres to the playoffs... is he? Can Adams take that bet?

So... present a contract giveaway trade and a lesser pick. And if Buffalo doesn't like it, you offer sheet Byram. If you're... say... Vegas, you'll figure out a way to make it under the cap by opening day.

Byram is two years away from UFA status.

St Louis and Vegas cannot do an offer sheet but Kings and Flames could.
