The St. Louis Blues are actively pursuing a trade for Buffalo Sabres RFA defenseman Bowen Byram, with reports indicating they've been making significant efforts. Byram, who remains unsigned, could potentially receive an offer sheet from another team, as the Blues are not expected to extend any offers themselves. Meanwhile, multiple teams including the Calgary Flames and Los Angeles Kings are also showing interest in acquiring the young defenseman.

General Manager Kevyn Adams has acknowledged ongoing discussions with Byram's agent and stressed the importance of evaluating any deals that could enhance the team's roster. He indicated that the Sabres are prepared to match any offer sheet that Byram might receive, ensuring they can retain a player who they believe is crucial to their success.
