The Buffalo Sabres may not have defensemen Bowen Byram on their blue line for much longer.
Not only has he reportedly packed up and departed the city, but he's also now hired new professional representation.
Former NHL defenseman Craig Rivet recently said on his podcast that he believes the Sabres are on the verge of moving him:
I know that his whole family came in and moved him out. I strongly believe that Bowen Byram is moved.
During his end of season press conference, Byram seemed to imply that he enjoyed his time with the Sabres and was looking forward to more.
I've been lucky enough to come in and get a really good opportunity and play important minutes and meaningful minutes and I've really enjoyed that. I've taken some strides in my game and I'll continue to try to improve and determined to be the best version of myself as possible.
Byram then said that while it was disappointing that the team missed the postseason, he and the rest of his teammates are committed to improvement.
First off, first thought's always disappointment. I look at our team and I do think that we should be playing the next few days in a playoff series. But that's on us as players.
Yeah, it sucks, but all in all I enjoyed my year. We have a great group of guys in the dressing room, we all get along, and we're all trying to figure this thing out together. It's tough. It's never fun losing and whatever. But I know that everyone's committed to trying to figure this out and that's what we're going to try and do.
