Of the "more proven" guys that could move this might be the most likely.
Big cap hit (And the Sabres are struggling to draw fans and may want to shed salary).
Has not lived up to expectations and the fan base is really turning on him too.
Only thing is they already moved Mittelstadt, so not sure they'd want to move on from another center now. They are bought into having Thompson, Cozens, and McLeod as their top 9 centers for the long term I think and likely don't want to sell low on Cozens unless the owner gets involved somehow.

I really don't understand why Buffalo made that trade.
They have Dahlin, Power and Samuelsson all LHS and all locked up to long-term contracts. Dahlin on PP1, Power on PP2.
Why did you trade for Byram?
Byram has the talent to be a top D but needs better deployment.
