A bit off-topic but I still think waiving Byron was a big reason the 15-16 team couldn't really find the magic the 14-15 team had.
When you have a guy as small as Byron that isn't afraid to fly into a corner or get mixed up with bigger guys on the other team that type of energy radiates through the lineup and means nobody else has any excuses to not play that way.
Similar to a guy like Lomberg but he was probably actually a better hockey player too.
