I don't know about that. We are seeing that as soon as a player is given a contract his value tends to decrease a fair bit.
I think Byron can play in the league, but lets face it Calgary was still worse than 26 other teams last year. I don't see him really threatening to crack the top 12 forwards on a team like Boston or Los Angleles.
Now the Flames aren't one of those teams, but at most he might have been worth a 7th round pick to someone.
