Wow! Byram was worth more than i thought!

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Davidson can f*** off

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

4th overall????? My god

Am I missing something with Byram? He’s like an ok guy on the second pairing.

Drafted high. GMs overrate that shit forever. That's how Habs were able to dump Kotkaniemi for thirty times his actual value.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Bowen Byram is good but he’s not 4th overall pick good, there has to be something else here.

I'm with you. He seems to be over valued based on name recognition and where he was drafted more than on anything he's actually done on the ice.

 

[thedarkstark]

Hes got 20k followers.

He's a YouTube/twitch nhl video game player, but he has actually broken 2 big Blackhawks stories in the past so he likely does know someone in the organization... Praying he's wrong though

 

[belair]

Been the picture of health since coming to Buffalo though. Hasn’t missed a game

That's great for him, but the concussion history still leaves the risk.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Wait hold on, Chicago is ADDING with the #4 pick?

Good lord what the hell are they doing?

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Jesus f***ing Christ how is this real

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Imagine Stenberg falls to 4th now

 

[The Duck Knight]

The numbers being thrown around cannot be right. Byram is not even very good.

THIS.

Rasmus Andersson has been a more productive player. He's about to sign for 7x8.5. If the 12.5 AAV for Byram is true that is insane overpayment.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Unless a lot is coming back with Byram, that's pretty brutal for Chicago

 

[BigRig4]

Is this not a huge overpay?

 

[MMC]

Man I f*** with this new NHL heavy. Players demanding out and top 10 picks being moved around with no one giving a f***. Hell yeah brother

 

[Kevin Musto]

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Yikes. Buffalo could come out of this really good

 

[matt trick]

Whether or not that tweet is true, if there is an agreed upon extension, it will be 7 years, not 8.

To sign an 8 year extension, you have to be with the team at the previous deadline, so he could do an 8 year sign and trade, but that would have to be after July 1st, so it seems that is not happening.

He could also wait until after the trade deadline to extend, but I wouldn't consider that locked in.

Not true for an extension is it?

Like SJ will be able to extend Celebrini with 365 days until he’s an RFA. For a UFA it makes sense, but surely it’s different for a RFA. Byram will be a Chicago’s asset at the start of a new year.

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

Could be Byram + Quinn

 

[ToDavid]

Oof Chicago.

None of this is accurate. The Leafs literally just signed Raddysh for 8 years. The option also goes away for everyone in September.

 

[The Red Helmet]

The extension numbers being thrown around cannot possibly be real. Byram is not even very good.

Not sure if the numbers are correct but Byram is definitely very good. He might not be great but he is a very good defenseman.

 

[ShanahanMan]

Oh Damnnnnn. Hawks fans ain’t gonna like that. And they were lolling at those who suggested it could be for the 4OA

 

[viper0220]

Does anyone else feel like Chicago is forcing their rebuild? I think they should have build through the draft.
