The non-chalant dismissal of Byron is baffling. Some can't admit when Treliving makes a mistake.

The fact of the matter is that Byron was overtaken in the depth chart by guys like Jooris, Ferly & Bouma. So waiving him was the only option at the time.
We could probably use a guy like Byron now who's always had jump in his step, but hindsight is 20/20. Flames could have drafted Benn or Datsyuk too.
