Friedman on Byram/Sabres (32TP): “He has breathed new life into that team, you can see that he wants to drag it to his level and you can see those players recognized that they are with someone who’s been on a winner and understands that habits that you need to win”
@NHL_Watcher With him in the lineup it slots every other defenseman into the slots that fit them best. Even seems like Owen Power has played been since Byram got here and is being more aggressive offensively because he sees what Byram can do too and knows he’s capable of that
@NHL_Watcher It’s pretty funny that it takes an outside player to get guys to skate and Granato hasn’t been able to do that since he took over 🤣
@NHL_Watcher looks like buffalo might be in a situation like we were soon, with Toews/Makar/Byram. With Bo, Power, and Dahlin, might be a situation where they need to move the odd one out. Like Bo in Col, those are three guys who will need #1 minutes to be successful.
@NHL_Watcher Friedman. Sheesh. It's got nothing to do with 'understands that [sic] habits that you need to win'. It's talent, filling a big roster hole, and that immediate bump a guy gets landing in a new spot.
@NHL_Watcher Great trade for both teams. So happy to watch Bo Byram become a fan favourite so quickly. He was one of my favs on the Avs!
@NHL_Watcher I think it is more than Byram trade, it is mostly goaltending has been great
@NHL_Watcher Playing the Wings 2x in a week cures all ailments
@NHL_Watcher Erik Johnson didn’t bring that same energy?! lol. It’s his faster play vs veteran leadership or maybe ej didn’t work at all since they shipped him out. Either way, happy for Bo
