Player Discussion Bowen Byram - LHD (4th OA 2019 - Trade with Avs 3-6-2024) 22 YO - Signed Thru 2024-25 $3.85 Million Cap Hit (RFA)

[Dreakon13]

Yeah, there's no way I could justify paying 7-8+ mill for another offensive-minded defensemen on a team that can't defend.

 

[Fjordsen]

No way would I pay him that.

Then maybe he will be traded soon.

 

[My Cozen Dylan]

If he's not dealt, I think a two-year deal is most likely. He'd still be an RFA after.

Byram had a chance to step up when Dahlin was out. They lost 13 games. He gets 7 tops for me or gone.

 

[HOOats]

AFP has him at 2 x $5.38M or 7 x $7.25M.

Adams should run to sign the 7 year deal if agreed upon. Byram is the type of all-around player we need more of.

And look to trade Power for a center.

I certainly hope all of you that have hard numbers in your head have revised them up to reflect the % increase in the cap, i.e. 8.5% increase from 88m for next season, 18% from $88m in 26/27, and 29% from $88m in 27/28. If you average that out over a longer deal, you are looking at around 18%. That makes a pre-increase deal of $7m AAV landing at about $8.26 AAV.

So buckle up.

As I recall AFP takes into account the upcoming salary cap bumps.
