Why trade off both Kesselring and Byram?

 

[Bizz]

7x12.5 for a 13% WARe Defenseman...

lol

lmao.

 

[Aashir]

If that report is true it’s gonna be a disgusting contract

Wonder what the assets are here, doubt it’s 4 so maybe korchinski ++++

 

[hamzarocks]

Holy f***!!! 12.5Mx7

Dude better put 70+ points and be a top 3D next year

 

[DesertPenguin]

 

[AcerComputer]

4 for Byram + 20?

Would be insane overpay if true

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Guys that 12.5 is from a ns account

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

It makes perfect sense for the extension to be that high. Unlike almost every UFA extension signed, Byram's deal would cover all prime years, only ages 26-32.

 

[Djp]

Can’t sign the extension until July 1

But current 1 yr left+ 7 yr extension could effectively be 8x10 =80 or 6.25+ 7 for 73.75M

Why trade off both Kesselring and Byram?

Sabres did not like playing kesselring. Did not fit in. Was was not seen as someone that could fill the Byram hole if traded.

 

[DearDiary]

A year ago I thought Nurse could cost a 1st+ to move. Byram at 12.5 mill makes me think Nurse's contract isn't even bad

 

[MrNasty]

I take it Chicago didn't watch Byram run scared in the playoffs

 

[Atoyot]

You can have a handshake agreement in place with the contract being formally announced on July 1, I believe.

You can, but neither party would be obligated to honor that handshake agreement.

 

[Icebreakers]

Its the new market and new NHL with the cap rising. Get used to it.

12.5m this year is the equivilent of 9.8m in 2022

Doesn’t change the fact that Byram hasn’t shown anything to suggest he’s gonna be worth 12.5M and be paid as a top 10D for those years…

Who is this?

that... doesnt make this look any better

 

[Jetskiis]

if u made that deal and reneged on it, no player would want to do business with you ever again though.

 

[Surfer Dude]

oof if true

 

[Dubi Doo]

He beats out Karlsson by $1 million if this is the case. Dahlin makes $11 million for comparison and he's only in year 2 of 8.

Granted Makar and Hughes likely crush this but dear lord.

Lmao, there's no way this is true.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Wait yeah that’s definitely bait.

The twitter handle is DontBeSaad…

 

[Em etah Eh]

Maybe if Byram comes with a long-term extension for 8 years?

Seth Jones 2.0?

 

[MasterMatt25]

Why trade off both Kesselring and Byram?

Byram wanted too much money, Kesselring didn't fit the system

 

[Surfer Dude]

Why trade off both Kesselring and Byram?

time for more rebuild /jk

 

[Djp]

Why trade off both Kesselring and Byram?

Kesselring probably in ruff doghouse, Byram might not want to resign because he won’t be a top pair with top PP time
