Value of: Bowen Byram

What is his next contract going to look like?

 

[GirardSpinorama]

If its a bridge, it'll be around where Noah Dobson's contract. I would rather just sign him up for 7 years but I don't think we have enough cap to get the number.

One caveat to consider is a 2 year bridge beings him up for renewal at the same time as Rantanen.

Ya, I'd want a 3 year bridge. Noah Dobson got a 3x4M (with no backloading); nothing wrong with that for Byram.

Either sounds ok to me. Should they close the thread now or do you think others will have different opinions about this?

Would be interesting to see what people think a long term contract would look like.

6.5 milish. Likely a top pairing D, but his a leftie which drops his value.

Question is do you give him a long term contract with his history?

I think a fair number considering his potential and the potential of it being a steal is 7-7.5 at 6-8 years. I would absolutely do that as worse case scenario it's ltir buried. He has number 1 d written all over him.

He’s been good. 7.5 seems like a reach if they are giving him 6-8 years given his injuries and position.

 

[LemonSauceD]

I’d be cautious signing him to a long term contract. Guy is one good hit away from retiring.

Probably $3M x 2.

While that is true, hopefully by that point we're seeing more consistent bigger jumps in the cap.


Mikko shouldn't get a huge raise anyway. He shouldn't be making much more then what Tkachuk just signed for tbh. Maybe a ~1-1.5M raise to get him into the $10.5M range.

I don’t think being a lefty drops his value. I just think there’s a righty tax when it comes to defencemen. Take the market value and add x dollars.

Offersheet comments are usually controversial because they rarely happen but he seems like an interesting gamble.

He could be a good risk for a team that is on the upswing but hasn’t hit the cap ceiling. 4,200,000 for 2 years is a 2nd rounder. Bryam gets paid immediately as an insurance policy against his health and the team that trades for him can flip/drop/retain him after 2 years.

Avs might match it too so either way it’s sort of a win-win if he can’t get a long term contract.

The Avs *might* match this? They’d match anything even close to this so quickly your head would spin. The Avs would rather piss a 2nd rounder straight into the Colorado River as opposed to letting a foundational piece walk away for that price.

Not a chance.

I mean great, makes sense. I speculate his next contract with the Avs is two years @ 4,200,000.

 

[Dr Amazing]

Avs can afford him trade Girard and Eric Johnsons contract ends this year.

2 1st round picks from Montreal + 2nd and a 3rd?

Yeah Colorado takes that in an instant and says thank you very much.

I guess he signs longterm but to a surprisungly low aav, maybe 5 x 7 years

Like josi, cause of injury history

I think Byrams ego is too big for that.

If he goes long term it'll be for 7+ IMO, which simply put the Avs can't afford today. They need to bridge him from a cap perspective but also for the sake of injury concerns.
