Flyers act Target Resigns with Sabres

Long -standing Philadelphia Flyers Against Bowen Byram, the Buffalo Sabres does not yet leave.

On Monday it was announced that Byram, 24, signed a contract extension of $ 12.5 million ($ 6.5 million) with the Sabres, who thought he was in Buffalo for two more seasons and exceeded all trade talks … for the time being.

The former No. 4 election has long been a sought -after trade destination for the flyer, also in this low season, but the price has still proven to be too steep than a player who effectively would be effective with an extensive history of injury in La Jamie Drysdale.

It was previously reported that the flyers were interested in both Byram and JJ Peterka, but this was treated to the Mammoth in Utah and the former has now decided to stay.

With his new deal, Byram is expected to get the chance to prove himself and to carry his own defense pairing in a top 4 role.

Philadelphia flyers like Bowen Byram, but also the Vancouver Canucks, who first hit a trade for him.

The offensive advantage is there; The 24-year-old, known for his skating and puck skills, scored 38 points last season when he played for the first time in his career in all 82 regular season games.

When the Colorado Avalanche won the Stanley Cup in 2022, Byram produced nine points in 20 games, although he did not score a goal for 44 shots. With a little gambling you are looking for 0.75 points per game or better in this playoff run.

It should be noted that this new Byram contract is probably not so soon decreasing from the Radar of the Flyers.

After Byram has only received a two -year contract, he will burn both of the last remaining RFA years and go directly into the unrestricted freelance agency in 2027 – in the year in which the flyers have the potential to cause the greatest damage on the market, with Rasmus Ristolainen and Ryan Ellis each expired.

Byram also has no trade protection in his contract. So if the Sabres want to avoid losing it for free and/or Byram not to be with itself, a team like the flyers can provide one or two activities and use their own chance of the talented re -hat.

Until then, however, we cannot put the car in front of the horse. Byram remains a Sabres player … for now.
