You’re saying that like Byron have no values. Last 3 year is been averaging around 20+ goal and around 40 point. This years he have been injured but was playing great in is return before the Covid-19 ended the season. He got pure speed, is one of the best penalty killer in the league and he is on a very reasonable contract. So it could be possible that Seattle have interest in him. Depending on other players team will let exposed.
No, I'm saying that likely MTL will have more valuable pieces unprotected. In this scenario lets say MTL protects (7-3-1)
Hall, Domi, Drouin, Gally, Kotkanemi, Lehko, Danault
Pietro, Hjalmarsson/Weber/Juulsen
either goalie protected
Byron, Mete, Kulak, Armia, Chairot, one of Weber/Juulsen/Hjalmarsson
I can't see them taking Byron out of those unless they get another asset for doing so, there are going to be a lot of guys like Byron available, why take him when they can add a good young Dman or a better forward in Armia
