So another year, another round of Byram trade speculation. Wake me when something actually happens.
NHL Rumor Roundup: Latest On Bowen Byram And Matthew Knies; Update On The Canucks
Bowen Byram has drawn interest from multiple teams and may be traded by the Buffalo Sabres, with his desire for increased ice time potentially prompting the move. The Toronto Maple Leafs have an update pending on winger Matthew Knies, and the Vancouver Canucks are shopping virtually everyone on their roster, with potential trade candidates including Elias Pettersson, Brock Boeser, Jake DeBrusk, and Nils Hoglander.
Knies has been posting solid underlying numbers this season with a 54% CF%, so if Toronto's moving him it's probably more about cap management than performance. Would be curious to see who bites and at what price point.
ngl cap management is always the reason for trades like that, toronto needs to get under the ceiling somehow i guess. wonder if they'll try to sneak in a bridge deal to keep him around for another year or two
