EDGE Analysis

Byram helped out on Owen Power's third-period goal. In addition to the assist, Byram led the Sabres with 24:52 of ice time, more than Power's 23:27 and Rasmus Dahlin's 22:48. All three blueliners are likely to play a big role this season, but Byram has arguably the most to gain after producing a combined 29 points in 73 contests between the Avalanche and the Sabres last year. Byram is expected to see more consistent power-play usage in 2024-25, which could help him push well beyond the 30-point mark, assuming he can stay healthy.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

The 22-year-old blueliner has gotten off to a quick start for his new club. In three games since being traded from the Avalanche to the Sabres, Byram has racked up three goals and four points, and he led Buffalo in TOI on Tuesday at 23:14. The fourth overall pick in the 2019 Draft was stuck in Cale Makar's shadow in Colorado, but Buffalo seems willing to treat Byram as an equal partner to Rasmus Dahlin rather than a sidekick, which bodes well for his fantasy value.

EDGE Analysis

Byram made quite an impression in his first game since he was traded from Colorado. The 22-year-old blueliner got Buffalo on the board 4:23 into the first period, beating Juuse Saros with a wrister from the circle, before adding an assist on Owen Power's tally in the third.

EDGE Analysis

Byram has eight goals, 20 points, 40 PIM, 60 hits and 75 blocks in 55 contests this season. He'll join a promising young defensive corps that also includes Rasmus Dahlin and Owen Power. Byram will likely serve in a top-four capacity for Buffalo, but Dahlin's presence will probably prevent Byram from seeing time on the team's first power-play unit.

Byram missed Wednesday's morning skate due to an illness and is considered questionable for the evening's matchup with the Red Wings, Marc Moser of Altitude Sports 950 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Byram's status for Wednesday night's contest likely won't be confirmed until the Avlanche take the ice for pregame warmups. If Byram is unable to go, Colorado may need to promote a defender from the minors to fill in against Detroit.
