Confirmed Trade: [CHI/BUF] Bowen Byram, Jordan Greenway for Louis Crevier, 2026 1st round pick (4th overall), 2026 2nd round pick (45th overall)

[BB88]

What a trade by Buffalo

4th overall for Byram is insane, sellers market

+ Greenway gives cap space Tuch is staying by this

 

[Chainshot]

I can't believe Buffalo actually robbed Chicago.

4th overall and the 45th pick wow!

Right now it's too good to be true. Feels like there will be more to it.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

...does Buffalo trade the 4th+ for Knies??...

 

[Playmaker09]

William Eklund (and some prospect friends) went for the 9th overall today.

In no world do I value Bo Byram higher than William Eklund.

And he just went for the 4th overall+.

I'm floored.

Byram was the #3D on a Stanley Cup champion and you think a small 50 point winger is worth more?

 

[joestevens29]

Huberdeau was coming off a 115 point season at that point, it aged horribly but at the time it wasn't seen as a bad move for the Flames at all generally speaking, in fact I believe the opposite was seen by most fans.

This is just .... atrocious on day 1.

Anyone that watched Florida those playoffs knew huberdeau wasn’t that great

He was a perimeter player who wasn’t willing to get into the dirty area

 

[dgibb10]

This is the kind of move that turns buffalo into a contender for the next decade

 

[Eegs]

Canucks legit could have moved Hornek for 4th overall.. god I hate this team.

We'd be giggling at that too

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Blackmail is the only explanation here

 

[TheBeard]

Buffalo turning 27, Kezserling and Byram into Chase Reid, 20 and much needed cap space for Tuch is absolutely incredible.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

There’s Dmen at 4 that are already better than Byram. They don’t even need to develop.

I agree. Byram and the 4th overall pick in the draft should NEVER be associated with each other afaic

 

[ManhattaKnight]

Holy shit what a terrible f***ing trade

I'm sorry, dude. I'm...so sorry.

 

[PensandCaps]

...does Buffalo trade the 4th+ for Knies??...

i'd keep it and take Bjorck

 

[Indy18]

Jarmo and Chicago.

Name a more devastating pairing

 

[The Crypto Guy]

What a f***ing awful trade by the Hawks lmao

 

[Puckstuff]

It's been a very long time since I've seen a trade this bad. You are trading the Malhotra/Reid slot and giving up 7 years of control for Byram who's decent but just not worth this.

 

[waitin425]

Chase Reid is legit and there is a great chance Buffalo gets him. Shit.

 

[MOGlLNY]

Right now it's too good to be true. Feels like there will be more to it.

4th ovr + 2nd + decent defensive prospect for Bo and Greenway. Thats it I’m pretty sure

 

[Boonk]

Terrible, dogshit trade for Chicago lmfao.

 

[Dirty Dog]

We don’t even know the trade yet. As a Sabres fan, this is way too much for Byram.

I’m assuming there’s more to it

 

[Silky mitts]

Sabres since firing Kevyn Adams

 

[Djp]

So Buffalo was essentially able to trade Casey Mittlestadt and parlay it into a 4th overall pick...

NICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

This is part of Eichel trade tree too

Eichel+ Mittlestadt+3rd+5th for Tuch, Krebs, 1st ( Ostlund) 2nd ( greenway)+ Byram

 

[toddkaz]

Reported a prospect coming back to or was that false reporting?

 

[DGLeafy]

I agree. Byram and the 4th overall pick in the draft should NEVER be associated with each other afaic

I may have been a bit extreme. But this trade is wild to me. Wild.

 

[Grinner]

Highway robbery.

 

[dgibb10]

Taking on a cap dump in Greenway too is the funniest part
