Based on the fact that 27 teams passed on him and the 28th team that took has him sitting in the PB so far this season (along with him clearing waivers last year and signing a 1 year basically minimum deal in the off-season) it would appear that the reason Byron was waived was he isn't good enough to play in the NHL.
Anyone using the Flames wanting to get bigger as an excuse as to why Byron was waived is ignoring what every other talent evaluator in the NHL is saying as well.
