I don't see a top pairing D in Byram's potential, at least not a D that can carry a pairing like Weegar. That's wishful thinking at this point. I think he will turn into a decent offensive defensemen, with a ceiling around Brady Skjei. He doesn't seem to think the game on a high enough level defensively, and he struggles whenever he defends top forwards.
That's why I'd rather keep Zary, and I hope he takes another step. I just have a hard time betting against him.
