@soupdard I like Byrams game a lot! But he needs to literally be a top 10 defensemen in the league for this to be worth it, and I don’t trust our scouting department after the Levshunov experience
CGY: C-, right idea but wrong execution
NJD: A, smart to bail
WSH: A+, amazing move
STL: C, gotta take what you can get I guess? sold low
OTT: C+, I don't love Eklund's ceiling but he's alright
SJS: B+, solid return
BUF: A+++
CHI: Z---, What the fuck are you doing
@soupdard We literally could’ve kept the second and Crevier and just drafted BPA which would’ve been Reid, who was that clown in the doomer chat who always defended Davidson? I need to talk to him
@soupdard Also, you mean to tell me that Bowen Byram is worth a top 5 pick, a mid second, a decent roster player and we have to eat one of their shit contracts??? That’s asinine
@soupdard So much for patience, honestly just a hilarious process. Well probably get better having Byram he’s more of a 1 than Vlasic ever would’ve been, but I’m sure there wouldn’t have been so much noise about this move if we were getting a Knies or a Robertson
@CHITOWNDREW23 Drew, remember when I was right about Levshunov, I’m gonna give you your opinion right now, the problem was never Alex Vlasic (even tho he’s overrated) or Louis Crevier, the issue was Andre Burakovsky
@soupdard Calgary landed Nemec who’s 3 years younger than Byram for so much less. We just traded for the idea of a guy being a 1 who’s never been a 1 lol. And we’re gonna pay him too! He’s getting 10+ for absolutely no reason other than panicking about how good San Jose did today.
