I don't understand this... did Buffalo think he was going to get more than 6.5 via arb? Did Byram's camp not feel he was going to get 6.5?
I dunno... maybe swoop in now and just offer them something middling to see if you can't pry him out? I just don't know what his contract would look like... first/second pairing guy with loads off pp time that pays off, 8 x 8 would be a steal. Middling offence and not great defense, all of a sudden, even 7 x 7 could look bad.
Would he take something like 6 x 7.5? Is he worth that?
