Report: The Avalanche Players Were Aware That Byram Would Eventually Go

Bowen Byram’s potential to move up the depth chart in Colorado was virtually limited when Devon Toews signed his agreement with the team before the beginning of the regular season. Although it was a bit unexpected, a move felt imminent and happened right before the deadline.

It turns out that the Avalanche players have known since his performance in the 2022 Stanley Cup Final that they would eventually lose Byram.On the newest episode of 32 Thoughts, while Elliotte Friedman and Jeff Marek were talking about the rise of the Buffalo Sabres since the trade deadline, Friedman dropped this nugget about Byram.”I recall that two years ago, during Colorado’s Stanley Cup run, Byram performed admirably. We’re going to lose this man someday, a few Avalanche players informed me. And the reason this guy is leaving us is that he wants to be a team’s best defensemen. Cale Makar is a nine-letter name that explains why he will never be Denver’s top player. The Avalanche was also aware of this.They were aware that one day they would lose him since he was eager to be the best man. They felt Mittelstadt was the appropriate candidate, and they had an organizational ideology that said they would trade him as soon as they had him.

Byram’s desire to move somewhere where he can be “the guy” is perfectly acceptable. You want players who are driven to be the best, and in Colorado, that was never going to happen while Cale Makar remained on the team. Buffalo also has Rasmus Dahlin and Owen Power on their blue line, so we’ll find out soon enough if this is the appropriate place for him, but his early returns have been excellent.

However, the same can be said by both sides. Mittelstadt fills a void created by the departure of Nazem Kadri via free agency, and he has been a fantastic fit in Colorado. At this point, it appears that both teams have won from the transaction.

While cheering for the Sabres to make a surprise run at the postseason, CHN sends its best wishes to Byram in Buffalo. Someone needs to take that final playoff position in the East since it doesn’t seem like anyone else wants it.
