The Buffalo Sabres may trade defenseman Bowen Byram this summer if he seeks first-pairing minutes beyond his current second-pairing role, as his agent has a history of taking players to free agency; such a move could create cap space to re-sign winger Alex Tuch and left winger Zach Benson. The Vancouver Canucks are shopping "virtually everyone" in a rebuilding effort, with potential trade candidates including center Elias Pettersson and wingers Brock Boeser, Jake DeBrusk, and Nils Hoglander.

So another year, another round of Byram trade speculation. Wake me when something actually happens.

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.
