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

Yikes, Chicago must really love Byram…for some reason.

This has shades of Griffin Reinhart

lol that’s ridiculous. Byram just had 42 points and played 22 mins a night on a very good team. Not even in the same ballpark. The biggest issue is he’s only signed 1 more year.

 

[Baksfamous112]

Yeah, shame the offseason is over. Btw Kesselring didn't even play for us.

He was mostly injured through the year but he could have with Byram now gone

 

[GoJackets1]

Seriously what the f*** is this?

Is there a GM with a better track record in trades than Jarmo?? Jesus Christ.

Whoever makes a “who won” thread for this is going to get permabanned and sent to prison.

...challenge accepted...

Byram is nothing like Griffin Reinhart, he is a talented player, skates with confidence, is a leader. Great player for Chicago's young core. He definitely has some consistency issues but I think he can be a #1 for them. Really wish we could've kept him but if he wanted 10 million a year, we couldn't afford that and this was a good way to recoup assets.

It’s not like this makes them better right now. Big hole in the top 4 now.

True.

Year 3 and forward they should be better.

Good deal by value though.

Jesus Byram got THAT return

He’s one of the worst puck retrieval dmen in the league
He’s not great 5v5 either

Hey, give him his props.

He's also one of the worst PP dmen in the league

 

[I am Canadian]

Makes me wonder what other teams were offering for Byram if Chicago added to the 4th overall pick.

 

[Surfer Dude]

Sabres and Sharks need to trade 1st’s, Sabres get their center and Sharks get Reid

malholtra or stenberg at 2OA - Sharks get 4OA + Mrtka (Top 4RD Upside)?

VAN take either guy left over.

Sharks take their picks of D

 

[FedorTyutin]

CHI got Bedard after the Kyle Beach story unfolded. Karma payback time.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

If the Sabres can get 4th overall for Byram, who's to say I can't get a date with the cute blonde I work with?

 

[67 others]

San Jose has a chance to do the funniest thing with picks 9 and 27

I will giggle my arse off if that happens

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Davidson’s phone must be ringing off the hook from other GM’s proposing trades after this fleeci…. errr trade.

 

[Revelate]

He was mostly injured through the year but he could have with Byram now gone

Ruff hated him. There was no chance he was replacing Byram.

 

[rsteen]

Kyle Davidson just cemented himself as the worst GM in the NHL today with this trade.

What in the actual shit is this

I know a lot has happened today, but Bowman just hired Babcock.

 

[Aashir]

and crevier too?

chicago got bent over and then some

 

[PizzaTime]

Davidson is a moron lmao

 

[Palaeontologists]

Sabres and Sharks need to trade 1st’s, Sabres get their center and Sharks get Reid

if that 1st is the 9OA one then sure.

 

[Ezpz]

They added crevier too? So buffalo trades a 4d and a cap dump and gets an NHL dman, fourth overall and a mid second.

 

[Metroid]

Future posts in 20 years.

Where were you on June 23rd 2026

 

[russ99]

What in the actual f***ity f*** f*** is Chicago doing?

Sticking and picking was going to see them in 5th place 2-3 more seasons.

Optics and trade value suck, but they have to do something other than tank at some point.

Bedard signed, maybe they promised him to add more NHL talent to get him to do that.

 

[SML2]

Rumor has it that Spencer Knight has reached an endorsement deal with Coppertone sunscreen as the official skin care product that will protect him from the UV rays of the redlight going on behind him in NHL arenas.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

If Buffalo can get the 4th overall pick for Byram and a cap dump other GM’s might wanna get on the horn to see if they can move their versions of Byram and a cap dump for a high 1st rounder.

 

[BeranekAndNeck]

Byram is nothing like Griffin Reinhart, he is a talented player, skates with confidence, is a leader. Great player for Chicago's young core. He definitely has some consistency issues but I think he can be a #1 for them.

Okay so now tell us about Byram.

 

[BB88]

That tells you this draft isn't good with the number of high picks moved today.

It tells you the UFA market is complete …..t
