Sabers and Avs both had an abundance in forwards and defensemen respectively. This trade made sense for both teams.

[@patauclair8835]

Byram is very happy about going to Buffalo. Cozens is one of his best friends.

[@daniellowe8074]

He must not had been too rattled. First shot as a Sabre and he scores.

[@254zero]

Finally buffalo makes a trade for a defenseman. Been waiting years for this. I look forward to seeing Byram

[@lukeblersch1444]

Buffalo Sabres are building up the Defensive core " more then likely there could be another defense for possible trade the off season will be very interesting for Buffalo Sabres and its fans!"

[@teejay33955]

Rupp loved the move in the beginning of the segment and completely changed his stance at the end lol

[@jf13579]

Based on a hypothetical need to flip him in the future that he made up on the spot

[@jf13579]

Sabres fans are rattled by the Sabres

[@Jabberwok28]

There’ a lot of sabre-rattlin’ going on.

[@DustinMikkelsen]

Bo should fit in nicely to Buffalo's top pair, he just got stuck behind Makar, Toews, and Girard whom are better offensively. Hopefully Casey is the answer to the Avs 2C that they seem to have every season, I wish both players success. #GoAvsGo

[@davidarduini9818]

Girard isn’t better offensively. Very solid defenseman, but Byram has the higher ceiling by far.

[@rodneymassarella5029]

What's the fascination with Powers. He's weak on puck, out of position and soft.

[@pistolpete7422]

He’s like 6’5” and 20 years old

[@aaa7189]

21 years old has nothing to do with it, many players have hopped right in at 18 years of age. Giving owen no power 8.35 mil was ridiculous @@pistolpete7422

[@teejay33955]

The Sabres could not and should not have paid 3 centers over 7 million each

[@davwes8594]

When the league uses refs to openly cheat against u to a disgusting degree its hard to make the playoffs

[@salamander8567]

Yes, it’s the refs fault that the sabres have had a garbage team for the last 15 years

[@gordonlittle4381]

Byram best friends with 2 young guys on sabres

[@OwenJMathews]

@@gordonlittle4381 Cozens and who else? Also he and EJ are friends.

[@putastakeonit]

Crying sabres fans!!! Shoulda kept jack…

[@johnrwalker53]

Hilarious,it's all the Refs fault.
