Jeremy White et Joe DiBiase sont rejoints par Buffalo Sabres, le journaliste Paul Hamilton pour discuter des Sabres étendant le défenseur Bowen Byram à un accord de 2 ans d’une valeur de 6,25 millions de dollars par an. Les gars commencent par discuter de la série intéressante d’événements qui a conduit au contrat de Byram, en commençant par les Sabres qui échangent pour lui, puis échangent des rumeurs et offrent des menaces de feuilles, et maintenant un contrat de deux ans qui gardera Byram à Buffalo. Ensuite, les gars prennent les avantages de l’accord des deux côtés, Byram a maintenant un chemin directement vers l’agence libre, et les Sabres gardent un partenaire très efficace pour Rasmus Dahlin. Après cela, les gars discutent du reste des mouvements de l’intersaison dans son ensemble, et Paul explique comment la chose la plus importante pour la saison prochaine est d’obtenir un meilleur gardien de but. Les gars font des allers-retours sur la façon dont les Sabres peuvent acquérir un bon joueur malgré les défis auxquels l’organisation est confrontée. #Buffalo #sabres #Buffalosabres #letsgobuffalo #sabrehood #sabresnews #buffalosabresnews #nhl #hockey #nhlnews # wgr550 #wgr #sports #bobyram #bowenbyram partager, thumbs up & abonnez-vous pour WGR 550 pour un nouveau contenu!

This is huge for Bo. Puts him in the driver seat. 12.5mil for 24mos., here, or somewhere? Please! And then he'll really cash in. This should work for the Sabre's as well, if Adams and Co. are anywhere near astute about it.
15 year playoff drought incoming!! Sabres are the most pathetic franchise in sports 😂😂😂
Happy Bo is back, but the team hasn’t done nearly enough. If I were Alex Tuch, nothing has convinced me that 10-11 per in Carolina doesn’t sound just great. They offloaded their best young forward and got 3rd pair d men and a grinder from bad teams, and another castoff goalie.
And you can’t sell peterka as a “me” guy and “culture change”, when the guy who watched their best player get murdered and stood by is still on the roster. “Sammy” clearly is making business decisions and knows the only way he doesn’t see every penny of that contract is if he takes contact and concusses his way out. Why is HE still here?
Unfortunately, Samuelson's soft play, has rubbed off on Power. I gotta believe they (Ruff) want to get rid of him.(Sammy)
Now trade him for a defensemen that will actually stick up for his teammates.
If we bring in a top 6 forward that means Kulich, Benson, Doan and other guys won’t get a chance to play more. I’d rather see Kulich play 18 minutes with his speed and amazing shot than some old guy
Rather have Jarmo makin the moves anyways
One Thompson injury away from being an 18 win team. Things have never been this dire.
Oh the 3 stooges are together again.
I think there is far more coming from Benson and Kulich this coming seasons. I could see them starting to become top 6 forwards. There is a lot of potential there and you can see both of them are not letting off the gas with their training.
If the Sabres can cut down on the defensive lapses to the point their GAA goes down to around 2.8 to 2.7 and their SV% gets to around .906 and can win far more 2 to 1 games. Or when they have a 5 to 1 lead they do not blow it like they did last year. This team could be a playoff team. There is enough skill in the pipeline and they have 2 young players in Benson and Kulich that can become very good top 6 forwards. And in the pipeline you have Ostlund and Helenius who have top 6 potential to where if this team becomes a far better 2 way team. They could be on the upward swing and even as some older players age out they have prospects who can when ready step in.
The key is becoming a far better all around team that can be in the playoff race the entire year. Maybe they go from 1 point out to being 3rd in the division all year as the standings fluctuate throughout the year. If that is the case and they get in next year, and the year after that. You get more FA who will sign in the Buffalo and to have a deep enough Pipeline that will keep having younger players push themselves onto the roster when they are ready.
Why not let him play on the power play. Last year the power play was not good. He can't hurt it.
I've felt that the trade byram was mostly due to the cap vs signing all of the RFA's… but, Peterka wanting out kinda fixed that too as he was another RFA needing to get signed, so when they moved him the PROBLEM was no longer there. They could still move him and I agree, they have to get back something substantial not just a pile of lottery tickets (AKA draft picks).. and right now the real problem is.. top 6 forwards are not moving much.. neither by free agency nor trades. Hard to get them when they are not available.
Hilarious Hamilton says goalie is all that matters. Our defense was abysmal.
Sabres never make enough meaningful moves in the offseason hence the never ending drought. They rely way too heavily on rookies and second year dudes. Gotta find quality guys with playoff experience in the offseason this organization is a disaster.
lol I sure hope this isnt the team they're going with for next season ohh lordy
You guys were talking about Byram making $7-$8M AAV and saying he could get a crazy offer sheet for $10M & you wouldn’t be surprised. Now he signs for $6.25M and he’s STILL over paid? People have stopped calling balls and strikes with the Sabres… Adams is capable of good moves, and there is nothing about this that hasn’t been good from Adams.
I would have done 3-4 years. Would make his trade value even higher because of the term.
Almost half a dozen things need to bounce the Sabres way and even if they all happen, in a BEST case scenario, this team might trip into the playoffs in a weak East playing a more boring style of hockey than the Islanders.
And im supposed to be excited for that? Im supposed to give a good faith enthusiasm to that plan? Lmao. Alright.
This year we will surprise the league. It's our turn. We improved this off-season. One more year under Ruff. Top pair Dahlin & Bo . Decent goalie signing , Power has a parnter , a healthy Norris & Greenway, Quinn , Jiri & benson will chip in offense along with Zucker & McLeod. On paper definitely got better defensively. Which cost more L's last year vs offense.
yessir Byram
Good luck with this current roster lol. There is 1 spot for grabs in atlantic division and you really think that with this roster, the sabres could compete against those others? 😀
UPL is horrible. Other than a 5 month stretch, he has a sub 900 save percentage. He wasn't good in Rochester and he's not a starting NHL goalie. He might not even be a backup.
Can’t stand Paul Hamilton. Just sounds like he can’t talk hockey.
Hamilton goes from Sabres should match any offer sheet up to 10 mil for Byram to now they overpaid at 6.25 mil! Whatever the Sabres do Hamilton criticizes. Add him to the two clowns with their hats on indoors and it's definitely Three Stooges time! It's time to clean house at WGR. Nobody will listen to a radio show that's two-thirds commercials when the other one-third is these clowns! There are too many good podcast alternatives available these days.
After the season starts. Start looking for a top line player for Power. Power scores on the PP so did victor. That doesn’t help your overall game. Byram is a better player all around
Maybe power will be moved out
Zucker and Mcloed were great adds to our roster so mayb we can squeeze one of those type of players in instead of keep hunting on the big fish?
I thinl with Bo, Kess and Lion we improved our D and are more flexible?
And lets pray that Norris gets and stays healthy so he can bolster our offense!
I would have preferred a long term deal but this is a short term move. He’ll be traded next season the way this is working out. I still don’t see him in for the long haul so why bother with a short term contract? Either decide to keep him and sign him long term or trade him…
Hilarious that people think letting in goals is due to only goaltending and defenders
