Byram Betting On Himself With Bridge Deal
The Buffalo Sabres chose to re-sign defenseman Bowen Byram on a two-year, $12.5 million bridge deal after shopping him for most of the offseason. Byram indicated in an interview late last week that after some tough negotiating, he is glad to have the contract situation squared away and is looking forward to the upcoming season. "i just think for me, it works well. I still think i have a lot of room to grow as a player and a person. and i see myself continuing to get better." Byram said to Sabres Live hosts Brian Duff and Martin Biron. "It kind of gives me another chance to sign, whether it's one or two more deals down the road in the future. I'm just happy it's done and out of the way now and I can focus on getting prepared for the season, getting back with the guys and getting on the ice." Other Sabres Stories Projecting Sabres Trade Cost - Bryan Rust Six Former Sabres Who Signed Elsewhere The signing appears to set in stone the Sabres blueline for the upcoming season, with Byram likely partnering with team captain Rasmus Dahlin, Owen Power pairing with newly acquired righty Michael Kesselring, and Mattias Samuelsson slotting in on the bottom pairing with another acquired blueliner in Conor Timmins. Timmins is a restricted free agent and will have a arbitration hearing between July 20 and August 4. It does not rule out the possibility of a trade down the road. If the Sabres struggle once again, next season's trade deadline would be the club's best opportunity to maximize their return, since they would have him under contract for another year. Byram's new deal does not include any no-trade protection, making it easier for Sabres GM Kevyn Adams or a successor to trade the young defenseman before he becomes an unrestricted free agent in July 2027.

The Bruins Related : Advertisement Top names Matthew Schaefer, D, 6-2, 186 (Erie, OHL) Schaefer missed the first nine games for the Erie Otters with mononucleosis but managed to put up seven goals and 15 assists in just 17 games before his season was cut short when he sustained a broken clavicle at the World Juniors on Dec. 27. He has not played since, but the short sample size has been enough to make him the No. 1 prospect. Matthew Schaefer (right) had his season cut short when he sustained a broken clavicle at the World Juniors in December. Sean Kilpatrick/The Canadian Press via AP Michael Misa, C, 6-1, 183 (Saginaw, OHL) Misa is expected to be the top center taken after racking up 62 goals and 72 assists in 65 games for the Saginaw Spirit. His 134 points led the Canadian Hockey League. James Hagens, C, 5-11, 185 (Boston College, NCAA) Projected as the No. 1 pick last fall, Hagens saw his stock dip slightly, although most scouting reports indicate he will go in the top five. He acclimated to the rigors of Hockey East well while skating on the top line for an Eagles squad that spent most of the season ranked No. 1 in the country, scoring 11 goals to go with 26 assists in 37 games. Related : Anton Frondell, C, 6-1, 205 (Djurgårdens IF, SHL) Skating in Allsvenskan, the second-highest professional league in Sweden, the 18-year-old posted 11 goals and 14 assists in 29 games in the regular season, then added three goals and four assists in the postseason. He is expected to play at least one more season with Djurgardens. Related : Advertisement Caleb Desnoyers, C, 6-2, 172 (Moncton, QMJHL) The Quebec native was named MVP of the QMJHL playoffs after posting nine goals and 21 assists in 19 games to help Moncton reach the Memorial Cup. That followed a regular season in which he had 84 points in 56 games. He has drawn comparisons to Jonathan Toews and Patrice Bergeron for his two-way game. Porter Martone, F, 6-3, 205 (Brampton, OHL) The talented goal scorer projects as a true power forward given his size. His production with the Steelheads was impressive, scoring 37 goals to go with 61 assists in 57 games while serving as captain. Related : Players with local ties Sascha Boumedienne, D, 6-2, 183 (Boston University, NCAA) The youngest player in Division 1 last season, the Stockholm native appeared in all 40 games for a BU squad that reached the national championship game. He then represented Sweden in the Under-18 Men's World Championships and set the tournament record for points by a defenseman with 14 in seven games. Initially thought to go in the second or third round last fall, he is now considered a first-round pick. Jack Murtagh, F, 6-1, 198 (USNTDP, USHL) The BU commit could be a late first-round pick. The East Greenbush, N.Y., native had 22 goals and 53 points in 56 games for the USNTDP. He will not turn 18 until August. William Moore, C, 6-2, 174 (USNTDP, USHL) The BC commit is a dual citizen of the United States and Canada, having been born in Ontario. He had 27 goals and 59 points with the program and projects to go either late in the first round or early in the second. Advertisement Carter Amico, D, 6-6, 234 (USNTDP, USHL) The Westbrook, Maine, native and BU commit may drop out of the first round thanks to an early season knee injury that limited him to 17 games in 2024-25. He could be a steal in the second round. Teddy Mutryn, F, 6-1, 207 (USNTDP, USHL) The Norwell native projects as a power forward and put up 17 goals and 30 points in 47 games with the Chicago Steel and also skated with the USNTDP. The BC commit could be selected in the third round. Draft-eligible players committed to or already playing in Massachusetts schools include Gavin Cornforth, Luka Radivojevic, and Ryan Cameron (BC); Conrad Fondrk, Charlie Trethewey, Callum Hughes, and Simon Wang (BU); Richard Gallant and Aidan Lane (Harvard); Yaroslav Bryzgalov (Merrimack); Cam Caron, Jack Pechar, and Sean Barnhill (Northeastern); Francesco Dell'Elce, Tomas Mikel, and Vaclav Nestrasil (UMass); and Kyle Jones (UMass Lowell).
