NHL Shockwave: How Bowen Byram’s Salary Arbitration Could Reshape His Career and Team Dynamics

And you know, as it turns out, we still haven’t had an offer sheet this summer. I think if you were looking for a place you might find one. There was definitely some smoke around the possibility of Byram getting one. And so you know, that possibility is now removed.

And further to that, you know, we know the Sabers are willing to move Byram if they can get the right sort of player package back. And they now have until, essentially, his arbitration hearing to get that piece of business done.

And so, you know, the arbitration hearings haven’t been scheduled, but they’ll be held between July 20th and August 4th. It kind of sets the clock on a decision one way or another. And so you know, you know, at the end of it, if nothing works out, if you don’t get a longer-term contract extension with him, done with him. If you don’t find a trade, you can just go through the arbitration hearing and you get the award and the players under contract for at least one or two more years from that point. But I do think it does focus in on those types of conversations.
