Don Taylor: “Bowen Byram. A lot of talk in Vancouver about how available he is, and of course, he has a connection with Vancouver, having played junior hockey here. I’ll ask you, how available is he?”

Friedman: “I don’t know that he’s available right now, Don. Like, I think, look, I think if the Sabres really go off the radar, then I think there’s, everything could change.  But Don, I really believe right now that Buffalo does not want to subtract from their team, they want to add some.

Now, in theory, if trading Bowen Byram adds something to their team that’s better, I think they would consider it. But I think right now, for the most part, what they’re talking about is make their team better. Make their team better, not make their team worse. They want to compete this year. It’s a huge year for their team.”
