Even though this is an old Reto Berra thread that was bumped, we should turn it into a "how Paul Byron would have saved this franchise" thread.

The guy is so good, they'll probably create a trophy for the NHL awards that only he can win. The Flames have let a lot of good players slip through the system and have traded them before they should have (in hindsight) like Savard, Giggure, Hull, Gilmore or even the pick we used to take Trevor Kidd over Martin Brodeur but all of those pale in comparison to losing Paul Byron.

Berra is playing really well right now but the Avs and Flames play a different game so there's no telling if Berra would have been good here. Byron on the other hand would have had this team in first overall...I mean the habs are only doing that well because of Byron.
