Teams are still interested in Bowen Byram, and the Buffalo Sabres may have Mattias Samuelsson available

Michael Augello of The Hockey News: The Buffalo Sabres were able to re-sign defenseman Bowen Byram to a two-year deal at a $6.25 million cap hit, and some thought that would stop the rumor mill. That hasn’t stopped the interest in him as The Fourth Period links 10 teams to him.

Sabres GM Kevin Adams didn’t like the offers he was getting for Byram leading up to the draft. They were likely futures-based, and the Sabres were looking for a ‘hockey deal.’

It’s also believed that 25-year-old defenseman Mattias Samuelsson could be available. He’s got five years left at a $4.285 million cap hit, and could be on the third pairing for the Sabres.
