Around The League Thread - 2026 Offseason

I'm old enough to remember byram getting traded for mittelstadt

 

[Devils Trap]

So what if Byram just refuses to sign lmao

So what if Byram just refuses to sign lmao

Then they’ve lost a potential core piece for the next decade for 1 year of Byram. A little risky imo but I’m no NHL GM

Byram draft year

Hawks select Kirby dach at 3
Colorodo selects Byram at 4

This is why it’s such terrible asset management

Could have drafted Reid or whatever you wanted at 4 at a fraction of the cost

Spent money on tuch in free agency or try and get Robertson

Instead blow ur asset on byram and pay him 10 mil in the process

Lack of trades the last hour - lets get to work

Buffalo fans saying on the main board that the second Buffalo trade is a tuch sign and trade

Who is Robo

 

[Triumph]

It's definitely a huge overpay from Chicago but I can easily see why they have no interest in drafting a D at 4, that shit takes time and also is deeply unreliable. Chicago has tons of cap space and nothing to spend it on that fits their window, and they have a million young players already. So while it's a terrible trade, I get it.

I cannot for the life of me understand how Buffalo managed to get a second draft pick in this deal. It's far from the worst thing about the trade, but it's totally inexplicable to me.

 

[Its Always Sundstrom]

Who is Robo

In my mind…

But in reality, Jason Robertson.

 

[MasterofGrond]

Trading 4 for immediate help is maybe a very good idea for Chicago. Trading it in this deal is certifiable

 

[Devils Army]

What the hell are the Blackhawks thinking? I like Byram but #4?

 

[It Takes 2 To Tango]

What a fun day for the league. Wish this happened more often. Really spices things up

 

[Eggtimer]

Who is Robo

Sorry , Robertson . I wasn’t 100% sure how to spell his last name so went with the lazy way that some people abbreviate him

 

[MadDevil]

Who is Robo

 

[Marv4Life]

Free Agent "Frenzy" won't be in the same stratosphere compared to today. (Or yesterday for those of you in the Jersey time zone.)
