Byron hurts though, as I don't think the intention was to lose him on waivers. IIRC that idiot Kassian had his DUI/broken foot kerfuffle right when the Flames tried to sneak Byron through, and that opened up a spot for Montreal to snag Byron. Even still, he should never have bee sent down anyways with a plug like Bollig still on the roster at the time. Man that pisses me off just thinking about it! Our team desperately needs faster, more tenacious depth scorers in the bottom six forward group and we gave one away for free with guys like Bollig, Raymond and Bouma holding down roster spots! Two future buy outs and another who ended his career in the AHL anyways!

Byron was also a victim of the three headed goalie monster. Ortio took an extra spot so a skater needed to go on waivers. Overall not well handled by the GM.
