Byram is tricky for a few reasons as he does fit organizational needs from a positional and age perspective but there are risks at play
1. He wants more opportunity on the PP which i am not sure he will get here long term with Parekh in the fold
2. His injury history matters even if he has had a somewhat clean bill of health that last two years
3. For a guy wanting more opportunity - he has shown zero ability to carry his own pairing. His splits with and without Dahlin are night and day and speak to a player that isn't and may never be ready to handle more responsibility defensively.
4. He want's a long term deal at a high number - despite again not proving a whole lot at this level.
I'd offer something like Sharangovich and FLA 1st.
