Byram is 22, he's been concussion free for 2 years now... had a lower body injury after that.

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?

And so it begins…

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.

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.

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. Athletic was the outlier 

not that it matters. Prospect strength doesn’t matter

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

Bowy will fit right in with Cozy and Krebsy. Want to be here. 

 

Adams is collecting Team Canada's lockout world junior team.

Cozens and Krebs were that team's top forwards, Levi its starting goalie, Quinn a middle-sixer and Byrum its top defenceman and alternate captain.

Why are the Avs giving up on him? 

They are desperate for another centre. Never could replace Kadri,

What role did Kadri play in depth chart?

Maybe KA can swing a deal for Zegras just to piss em off.

At least Beane is making good headway today reshaping the Bills aging roster to distract me from how much I dislike the job Adams is doing with the Sabres.

[inkman]

Now go get Guentzal and Tkachuk.  Twenty game win streak here we come.

Now we hate the Sabres for trading him for a current player who is better.

...allegedly.

[John Tucker]

Well, lets see if we can turn Byram into another Montour and then ship him out for peanuts next year.  I just don't get it.  Arguably our best forward this year for yet another lefty d-man.  So does this mean we have to count on Savoie, Benson and whatever top 5 draft pick this year as our #1 centerman next year?  Aww what the hell, why not a few more years of developing at the NHL level.

Well that depends on what he does to replace what he just released
