Only if we're doing it because we've added someone else. Don't need to move him for the sake of it, and I'm moving Drouin first anyway if it's my choice.
Byron is a 30+ years old, injury-riddled, 5'7 4th line winger with 3 years remaining at his 3.4M a season contract. Let that settle in for a second. He's a one-trick poney, and any team can sign a Grabner or a Cousins to a 1 year, 1M deal on the UFA market and get more or less what Byron gives you.
This whole post is riddle with, at best, gross exaggeration.
First of all, with Byron's skillset, he is easily a 3rd line calibre player, not fourth line and, when on his game, he can easily slot in to a top six.
He has elite speed, is one of the top shootout performers in the NHL, plays a very respectable 2-way game and his highly versatile slotting in at both wings with no drop off in performance. His speed also makes him a valuable asset for four on four OT hockey as well.
Pretending he's on par with someone like Nick Cousins completely ignores that Byron does many things considerably better than Cousins ever has.

Must be able to get a pick or 2 still for him. MB could still get a ufa and then put him out there,same thing with BG on an expiring contract,he will be too expensive next contract. Should get Tyler Johnson as he's locked in for a while at 5 and he can play C or RW
So... where's your "big move" at? What about you stop coming up with bullshit on this board first before calling the others out on supposed exaggeration when it's not.
