Kyrou for Byram. . .seriously?

[theograce]

there is a hell of a lot more involved in winning a playoff series than getting open and firing off a few great shots.

Like not being selfish/dumb and icing the puck at a key time in Game 7.

Agreed

Kyrou WAS on the table for JJ Petelka - per Frank Seravelli.

I would love to see Anderson (CGY), but it might be Nemec. Anderson has one year left and Blues are currently closer than CGY.

Maybe Petelka and Byram

I was wondering when this came out if there wasn't a third team involved. The basis of it being Kyrou for Petelka and Byram with Byram going to a third team for a legitimate right handed defenseman?

Or having the opposing team down to 5 D - knocking out their top D... and then performing "fly bys" the rest of the game and into OT ... and then getting called out on national tv for "lack of compete" in a Game 7?

You didn’t explain golden child very well.

Friedman apparently said it on the radio. I don't believe it would be 1 for 1. Sabres would probably have to add 9th overall pick and Jack Quinn or something else. Maybe Blues can offload Leddy too...

"Elliotte Friedman: If St. Louis is in on Bowen Byram, you could see them talking about Jordan Kyrou and/or a defenseman - SN 590"

Which defenseman is he talking about in an "or" scenario?

I'd be interested in a few of their guys like Kulich, McCleod, maybe Benson.

If we're able to land Byram and the #9OA for Kyrou, I think that's a deal worth making.

Honestly, I think I'd rather have Samuelsson. We should also try to offload Krug, Leddy, and Faulk in this deal if we're going to do them a favor by taking Byram off their hands.

That isn't even clear with snytax what the hell he's saying. What a pointless garble. Who is "they"? who wants the defenseman from whom?

Well it's a tweet. I didn't hear the radio hit.

Trade the Blues all star, leading goal scorer

says more about the lack of talent that was on the wings(before holloway)

[ManitobaBlues]

The Islanders are a tight-checking, defense-first team under Patrick Roy, and Kyrou doesn’t fit that mold easily. If St. Louis was offering Kyrou in a package for someone like Noah Dobson or even a top-tier piece, Lou Lamoriello may have balked.

So if teams are hesitant, it's probably not that they don't want him—it's that the risk-reward equation (especially at that cap hit) makes them cautious. Teams want cost certainty, and if they’re unsure he’s a true driver on a contending team, they’re not going to give up high-end assets.

I agree with you. The way EF wrote it it sounds like it would be Kyrou+ for Byram and that is laughable.

We're loaded at LD so let's get an LD who's one hit from done and also kind of not that special and let's use our biggest trade chip to do it? That's insane. What a terrible idea if it is truly under consideration.

Kyrou+Krug

Lou is no longer in charge of the Islanders (as of this offseason). Mathieu Darche is the GM now. Lou's contract was not renewed.

I have interest in two Buffalo defensemen, their names don't have 'Byram' in them

Kyrou+Krug

Not sure how that’s a good deal. Byram is one hit away from being Krug at a higher AAV probably. I don’t see what the interest in Byram is. It would be like kicking the tires on Adin Hill, why? The position is already filled.
