Les Sabres ont finalement fait un gros échange, envoyant Casey Mittelstadt à l’Avalanche du Colorado en retour du défenseur Bowen Byram ! Sneaky Joe se penche en profondeur sur le jeu de Byram, qui, selon lui, présente de nombreux avantages, mais n’est pas sans risque. Byram est-il capable d’être un défenseur de première paire pendant longtemps ? De plus, ce que le départ de Casey Mittelstadt signifie pour les Sabres au centre à long terme.

Adios Casey!.. thanks for developing into something worth trading.. no tears shed here
👋🌝
TRADES? Good players have come and gone and they have thrived when playing for other teams … how about trading ownership and management for exec's who WANT TO WIN and KNOW HOW TO DO IT
Mittlestadt, ultra soft with a maddening tendency to over pass. Never one of Adams guys…
What a shock. one of the schills from WGR just loves a Kevy Adams move. Another left shot defenseman. Another no grit, soft, puck mover. Sound familiar? We have 5 of him now. Whoopie.
Year 14 incoming.
Something to remember in terms of mittsy being friends with the whole team, Byram is friends with a lot of the team too. He was on the same world junior team as Cozens and Krebs, and even hung out with them in Mexico during the all star week. Not his teammates, Krebs and Cozens (and Bryson too).
So I don’t think it will hurt morale as much as someone else might’ve .
Another left shot d-man?!?! How many do we need? Good trade I just one of our top pick defenseman were a righty
I’m an Avs fan,,, you’ll love Bo,,, I love Bo,, he is unique and he’s a playoff performer,, in the final he was dominant 2 years ago! Plus he’s a great guy and a real team guy! We just needed a 2C , so we had give up something
I been talking about this exact deal for 3 weeks
Avs fan here. It's very possible and even likely that the Sabres got the best overall player in the deal. It still could be a great deal for the Avs who need a bit more balance and top 6 forward depth. The idea that there always has to be a "winner" of a trade is just sports talk fodder. There are some win-win trades (who "won" the Ryan O'Reilly/Tage Thompson trade?). I think the biggest concern for the Sabres aside from potential injury issues (the concussions have not been an issue for a while) is that Byram will have some of the same blocks that he had on the Avs, in that he won't necessarily be on the top unit PP… he could be a Norris caliber player if he ever gets that chance, and not sure he gets that chance in Buffalo.
Avs fan here, We saw/see Bo as a baby Cale weve seen his injuries his ups and downs and we cheer for him. The way he played tampa on our SC run was special as a rookie. We love him in Colorado the pick from Ottawa #4 pick from matt duchene trade. Take care of him and give us EJ back
I’m looking forward to Matt Savoie’s season in Juniors to end and for him to come up and get a real look on this team the way that Levi did. This way we have a good idea going into training camp next year how these guys might fit into that spot that just opened up!
It’s been a LONG time since we’ve traded away a play that I’m legit rooting for the win the Cup after they’re gone. Mittsy has earned that from me! He was basically a hard working Ironman that rarely ever missed a game or half assed a shift.
You will be missed Casey! Good luck and don’t forget about Buffalo when you’re a UFA!!
With this move, young team becomes a developnental team where once you mature like missy your traded. Now its Cozens as 2nd c, wow. And Thompsons a elite c, Wow
Just a note at around the 12:20 mark. Jean-Luc was just called up because of this trade barrage. They had traded Ryan Johansen like 5 minutes prior to trading for Middlestadt.
So it was MacKinnon-Johansen-Colton-then a rotation of Olofsson/Wagner/whatever warm body they could find.
And Colton only kept getting bumped to 2C because RyJo couldn't hold that slot to save his life which is why Colorado needed to get Middlestadt.
As soon as casey lost some teeth he became good
Ive waited 3 years for Casey to get traded. See ya later sucka….. Hello Bo 😊. Also Joe hes got 8 goals with 3rd line minutes hes already 2nd on the team in goals by Dmen lol
Joe Krebs just wants to see his son play. Man o man
Be interesting to see next year how the lineup goes. Cant forget about Sammy Coming back sooo 5 lefties and 3 righties as of now prob EJ is going bye bye but 5 lefties RJ Sammy Bo Dahls Power
I don't know…
What's your obsession with turnover krebs? You message him on grinder?
Good luck, Casey. Hope he does well. I'll be rooting for you.
Bowen is fragile….fast….absent minded…good exiting the d zone…and very penalty prone lately. You got a used Ferrari…don't get hit and cross your fingers when you open the hood.
Joe loves this trade for Krebs' sake, lol. Krebs is our 3rd line center now 😂😂😂……Krebs will never get 60 points
Adams HAD to trade Middlestadt. No swing here, was not being extended and was clogging up the roster for the better prospects. Now a real trade is Powers for Brady Tacuak or however you spell his name🤔
Love it man. Definitely a risk but as you said, they're going for it and I can't fault that. They'll need an entirely new 4th line next year, and maybe try to find another Top 9 Forward to be safe, but a step in the right direction. Also Skinner is going to be more and more of a problem these next few years, so that's the next big problem besides I suppose figuring out how to sign Peterka, Quinn and Byram.
More moves to come
Pure hockey trade. If Mittelstadt keeps it up and if Byram plays like he did in the Stanley Cup run, it'll be a great for both teams.
Congrats to Sabres for acquiring Byram. During the Stanley Cup run, he was as important as Makar for the Avs.
I am upset that the Avs gave up on such a promising player so quickly.
Barring injury, Byram will probably develop into your most dynamic defensemen.
You got Byram for cheap because he had Makar in front of him, the concussion scare and a down year.
For the price of a Byram, I was hoping the Avs would have gone after Shane Pinto.
Shane Pinto is no longer under the radar, but I absolutely love his game.
He is big, can score, win faceoffs , defensively responsible center that would have been perfect for the Avs.
All the blathering about the pipeline is BS. The team is too young and too weak. Not smart either. Mediocrity is their ceiling
good his first season then ….as long as he has no more concussions .. now talk of Vancouver & Greenway
Casey has been terrific over the last year. Byram has regressed, likely because of all the concussions he's had. Bad trade for Sabres.
Avs fan here….Bo has some incredible upside. He has the potential to be a #1 D on some teams (not Buffalo, though). On your team….he has the POTENTIAL to be a #3 that is the absolute BEST #3 in the league. Y'all know what you have in Dahlin and Power. But if you watch Byrum in the Cup run, damn was he good. I'm happy with this trade as an Avs fan right now….but, in a few years….y'all may win this trade. IF he lives up to the potential and he can stay healthy. Neither of those things are certain, though. I think It's a fair trade…a good hockey trade.
As Colorado fan who works at the arena-this is a huge win for both teams,& both players I think.Byrum needs to be given more opportunity-& really has superstar potential. Avs just solved by far our biggest weakness by taking from our biggest strength.
Then with the Sean Walker trade we replace Byrum with a talented veteran who's better than Bryum today-but Byrum is younger with a much higher ceiling.But we get a better fit/more consistent-bottom 4 dman for us now.
Buffalo can be patient with Byrum,& if his concussions don't come back(knock on wood)-he likely will turn into an All star-my opinion.But we gotta go for another Cup now-so everybody involved wins with an A-my opinion.
But there doesnt have to be "a winner." I think you got the best player longterm-but we filled our 1 massive hole,& if we win another Cup-we just "won the trade" for now-if you must..Both teams are at completely different stages-with totally different short & long term goals. But it is actually possible for both teams to win-just at different times, & in different ways.
BTW-Girard was out in 2nd round injured.Thats why Byrum was #3 & he was awesome.But it was Makar,& Toewes as a pair ahead of him-not Girard. When Girard was healthy you could argue which of him,& Byrum was #3-but never ahead of Toewes in pecking order-just sometimes in order to play him with Makar.But no doubt other than Makar-Byrum had the 2nd biggest upside on Avs blueline.
You just can't pay 3 centers 7 million a year each, especially when your pipeline is stocked FULL of Centers
They are all good friends. Cozens was just on vacation with him during the all star break and krebs went to his cup party when they won he cup. So thats cool
Love ya Bowen. We love you. Thank you. Hello Casey, Welcome. Great trade.
Avs fan here, Bo Byram jersey owner, fuck this hurts. But…this is a great hockey trade. At the moment, no team wins or loses. I will say tho for buffalo, Byram has no ceiling. I don’t think you should be thinking about his injury history but his star potential. He was handcuffed in Colorado because we have a stellar d core and he was never gonna be a top D when you have Makar and toews! Byram has the potential and I wouldn’t be surprised if next season he is on your top pair. Ugh this hurts. But I also love what we got in return. It’s business and I truly believe this was a true 1 for 1 and it’s fair for both sides atm. I think both players have more potential on their new teams and I wouldn’t be surprised that years later it’s still a perfect one for one trade. Bo, best of luck, I’m so so looking forward to your career! You will always be an AVS, YOU WON A CUP AND WERE SO CRUCIAL TO US WINNING! Forever an Avs , forever! 🖤🖤🖤
Facts, anyone from WGR is immune to facts when it cones to the Sabres.
Krebs has 61 games played and 12 points. His linemates, whom you hate, have all outplayed him this year. In 25 less games Victor Olofsson has more goals and more points.
Eric Robinson has almost as many points in only 27 ganes for the Sabres.
Krebs never scores. Krebs is not good.
Krebs is young. That's all he's got going for him.
It is now official. I am no longer a Sabres fan. This shitshow will never end before Pegula sells the team. Feel sorry for you, Joe!
Haven’t tuned in to you for a while because, well, I just don’t like you. You’re arrogant and more than a little ‘douchey’. I did today because of the trade. I’ll give you this. You’re true to form. You give every non-Buffalo fan ammo for laughing at us, mocking us and the epitome of the reason for our well deserved irrelevance.
I hope you're right. It still feels like a developmental team. This doesn't change that for me.
I love Mitts, apprehensive about the concussions, don't like the trade. Hopefully I'm wrong.
Byram was looking to be a phenom until this season. I hope he returns to that trajectory in Buffalo.
After we trade Erik Johnson the Sabres will have 6 left handed defensemen and only Clifton and Jokiharju who shoot right.
Midts,will do great with the skill set the Aves have the guy has formed into a legit pass master and can put the puck on a string i got his rookie card will miss him and the team will too
I'm just a beer league defenseman, but I never get caught up on left or right preference.
