To be fair, they've made mistakes repeatedly for over a decade. From where I sit, this is routine for them.
I can see two different things here.. 1. yeah, possible mistake (we've not seen a return yet.. the return could make a big difference too).. 2. Shopping to see who offers what.. does not mean they are going to do the deal.. just hear them out. 3. Yea, the money is tight with those 3 sitting there.. and they do have some depth at the defensive position with Johnson and a few others.. of course, do we have the whole story? byram may have asked out.. but the sabres and Bo are keeping it under wraps to not devalue the guy in a "They gotta move him".. Well have to see.. I think they should move UPL and use his money to resign some guys.. He's been a 1 year guy so far… a career year earned himself a bigger deal and back to the numbers of a backup at best…
Red wings
If there is a way to screw up the sabers will find it. But I agree it would be a lot of money to tie up on defense.
You forgot the other context: byram wants to be a number 1, and thats not happening in Buffalo.
Also your tag is gibberish
Byram is a left handed shot and he hasn’t lived up to expectations for 2 teams now. He is overrated by ppl because he was a high draft pick. He’s a second pair defenceman who wants to be paid like elite dman. He’s a bit of a cancer.
I said it then but trading Byram for Mittelstadt was the wrong move and yes I know we needed a 2C but a future pair of Byram and Makar could have been amazing
This clown also said Celebrini and Demidov in the same sentence lol. Like they are on the same level this channel has to be satire.
