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.

The fact of the matter is that the only reason they had to expose Byron to waivers was because of the 3 goalie situation.
Now Bouma and Ferland are hurt and we could really use Byron. But instead, we have to go with Raymond every night.
I have always felt Byron is/was the most under-rated guy on the team. And now it sure would be nice to have his speed and energy out there - it is sorely missed, IMO.
