Proposal: Paul Byron to a cup contender

[Cobra Commander]

Amazingly fast 2 way 20 goal scorer who will be looking for a bigger payday than what he makes right now (1.167 cap hit). He can help a contending team that is looking for a winger at the deadline, this doesn't mean your team must resign him. He's got 22 and 20 goals his last 2 seasons playing with non offensive centers and plays lots of PK, he get's lots of breakaways because of his crazy speed.

I'm not looking to hear posters bash the player, keep that garbage to yourself please, and don't go pro rating him and telling me he's a sub 10 goal scorer, he has become a 20 goal scorer on a bad team, that's what he is now, their is nothing to bash about Paul, he is what he is, I wanna hear what interested posters have to offer for him, thanks.

[Hostile Offer]

A 2nd and a decent prospect.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

I would definitely offer a 2nd+ as Tampa. I feel like him next to Gourde would be insane.

I wouldn't mind seeing Paul in a Bolts uniform, what is the + ?

Not sure exactly. Possibly Adam Erne?

 

[780il]

2nd + b/c prospect. He's kinda like Grabner and will probably bring back close to what Grabner got the Rangers at the tdl.

 

[Freudian]

He's be a role player on a better team so he wouldn't score as many goals. He'd still be useful as a depth forward.

 

[HabsTown]

Would it be unrealistic for a Byron/Johnson basis!?

The offensive output isn’t that big between the 2 & help TB shreds 4M on cap + could sign Byron for less term+ money.

Heck, I could see Byron upgrading is Pts total in TB.

 

[sansabri]

Late 1st works for me.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

He's better than Grabner imo. I suspect he'd have a similar return, but if he has a real good season leading up to the deadline this year I can see a team throwing a late 1st for him too, otherwise, it'd be a 2nd + decent prospect or collection of picks with a 2nd being the best one.

I'm also open to the idea of packaging him with Pacioretty to a team to increase the value we get back in that deal if it makes a decent enough difference.

 

[AndreRoy]

No way. We need a physical force in our bottom six and Erne has the chance to be that player if he can manage to stay healthy. Nothing against Byron but if we had room or a need for another diminutive speedster in our lineup we would have given that spot to Peca.

Good god that’s bad. Unless poehling is involved. Then it’s less bad.

 

[Deam78]

Without circumstance I think he's worth a 2nd+decent prospect.

Taking circumstances in, with a team a the TDL looking for depth scoring, I'm fairly confident he could fetch a late first.

It is incredibly unrealistic, to the point where it’s embarrassing that you even brought it up.

Erne also sucks rocks

 

[VoluntaryDom]

I’ll do Johnson for Byron as soon as Montreal does Gallagher for Killorn

 

[AndreRoy]

Erne also sucks rocks

He was doing fine until he got injured again. And if nothing else we have plenty of guys in our farm system who a) would be a better fit for our needs than Byron, and b) wouldn’t cost us assets to acquire. Again, if we had a place for Byron on our team it would have gone to Peca.

I think Byron would be a good fit here on a line with Gourde and Cirelli. Speed and finishing ability which we could use.

He has been a role player for the Habs too. Averaged 16 mins TOI last year which was good for 8th among Habs forwards.

 

[TheWayToRefJose]

I'd take him in SJ for a second + Letunov or Chartier

 

[LeonDraisaitl]

Erne also sucks rocks

Woaaah take it easy on the language young man.

Ok lemme put it this way

Outside of his shot Erne has no offensive ability and despite his skating improving he’s still slow. Now his possession numbers were good in a small sample this season and he is physical but above the 4th line I don’t see a role for him.

Extremely unrealistic. No reason for Tampa to make a move like that.

As far as what Byron gets, I’d imagine Montreal gets what we gave NYR (puke) for Grabner.

 

[GHJimmy]

Late first and a early second picks. Sorry but that's the way it works

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

Most teams that have a late first won’t have an early second
