Would certainly make the LD more solid though.

I wonder how much truth there is to the attitude issue. I expect that much of it comes from the fact that Byram thinks he is as good as Powers and thus wants similar $$.
Pospisil would be a good add for a really soft team. He has 27 more PIMs than the PIM leader on the Sabres and we plays with a grit that the Sabres do not seem to have.
I also think highly of Mews. He might be the steal of the draft and the Flames had a number of picks that feel like steals in that draft.
I like Vladar too and would rather extend him, but I think his rights has some value.... not much, but not nothing. Even if the Flames do not want to extend him, the rumour that the Sharks are interested would mean that any other team that might want his services would benefit from having his rights to try and sign him before July 1.
Weird trade from a Sabres fan but if that was really on the table, I would hope that we jump on it and sign Byram to an 8x8.
