Why would Byram be included instead of Newhook? BUF has loads of young LHD already (Dahlin, Power, Samuelsson, Johnson, Bryson, etc)

If you can't without retention, then you can't

No way Avs would be adding that much on top of Byram, easy now. In fact, I'd wager that Byram is completely untouchable.

Byram is off limits abd Avs are not trading their 2c and 3c for a player who will be on ltir until late March if they’re lucky.

Building on that thought, next year Colorado would have less than $20 million to sign ten players, including two goalies, at least one of whom should be of NHL-starter quality. And that's abandoning Burakovsky and Nichushkin,

do you really want macdermid and jack johnson as your bottom pair. and darren helm as your third line centre

Yes Bo is pretty much untouchable, or probably like you said completely untouchable. We are not trading him
