Bowen Byram, the standout defenseman from the Buffalo Sabres, is currently a restricted free agent, attracting interest from multiple teams around the league. His recent performance in the past season, where he notched a career-high 38 points with a plus-11 rating, has solidified his reputation as one of the most valuable young blueliners available on the market.

NHL insider Chris Johnston mentions that there are strong rumors about a possible offer sheet for Byram that could reach around $7 million annually. The Sabres, with a solid $13.6 million in cap space, are poised to match any offers, as GM Kevyn Adams indicates the team's commitment to keeping him if the trade compensation aligns with their roster improvement goals.
