[Kypreos] “The Sabres could still end up trading him, but that’s unlikely for the time being since a team won’t pay a hefty price for Byram given he can walk to unrestricted free agency”

It would definitely need to be a sign and trade. Im curious what the asking price has been. I know they want talent that helps the roster now, but how much and/or what else?

“But that’s unlikely for the time being.”
That means he will be traded in about 20 minutes.
He’s not being traded until the deadline of the 26-27 season. Quite frankly he was never going to be traded. It was the irresponsible reporting of a former player’s podcast that started the whole thing and somehow the rumor grew legs.
EDIT: He is signed for the next two years,FYI
The most likely scenario is they wait til next season’s trade deadline where teams will be desperate for a player like him and pay what is probably the highest value they’ll get for him
I think he could still be traded because the team could convince him to stay over a two year period.
