Showing some hockey ignorance here.
What's the difference between a missed breakaway and no breakaway? Is this for real?
How about the fact that when you're on a breakaway you are driving the puck to the net in the oppositions zone?
That means the opposition is not in a position to score on you.
How many of those breakaways were due to Byron stripping the puck of the oppositions stick? He was so good at takeaways. He is a smart player.
I have a feeling the Flames were hoping Byron passed through waivers which would have given them some good flexibility for the next month.
Montreal scouts have obviously done their job and scooped him up.
I hope he finally puts it all together and rips it up in the East. He will be missed, especially if the Flames run into injuries up front.
Best of luck Paul, thanks for the never give up, relentless workhorse, tough to play against style of hockey you brought to the Flames.
