Pierre LeBrun: Re Zach Werenski/Blue Jackets: He has not asked for a trade, but teams around the league believe that’s coming over the next 12 months - The Athletic (6/22)
Prior to making the Byram move, Chicago spoke to SJ about possibly moving up from 4 to 2, but clearly that didn’t progress.
Lots of chatter out there across the board, including Buffalo’s UPL making the rounds. Possible result of Sabres links to Hellebuyck? Wild week continues.
The biggest scam in sports is NFL teams getting billions of dollars in taxpayer money to build a new stadium, then turning around and raising hundreds of millions more by forcing fans to buy PSLs before it even opens.
I still don't think the GMs are done for the day.
Sounds like Buffalo has more irons in the fire after this Byram deal is culminated.
Wildest non-deadline day in hockey history?
We have acquired the 4th and 45th overall picks in the 2026 NHL Draft and defenseman Louis Crevier from the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for Bowen Byram and Jordan Greenway.

This trade is hilarious. The last time a top-5 pick in the NHL was traded (with both teams knowing it was top-5) was 2008. 18 years ago. This doesn't happen. GMs always chicken out.
And the one that finally happens is for... Bowen Byram??? For the right to overpay him???
Full trade, per sources:
To #Blackhawks:
LD Bowen Byram
LW Jordan Greenway
To #Sabres:
2026 CHI 1st Round Pick (No. 4 overall)
2026 NYI 2nd Round Pick (No. 45 overall)
LD Louis Crevier
Like a number of clubs, the @BuffaloSabres remain very active in trade scenarios. Byram is clearly a hot commodity. It’s also believed the Sabres have circled back on Alex Tuch to see if an extension is possible with Free Agency looming.
