I get the impression from prior discussion that while that swap might work for the Jackets and Sabres it probably wouldn't work for the NTC/NMC-holding players.

Byfield retires before he signs an offer sheet to go to Buffalo.

The Byfield offersheet obviously isn’t happening

Konecny is an interesting idea,
but if he wants too much in his next contract, i could see us lose interest fast
