Before Bowen Byram was traded to the Chicago Blackhawks, has agent was talking to some teams, and the worth got as high as $14 million<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Puck Pedia<\/strong><\/a>: Agent Darren Ferris said when talking to some teams about what Bowen Byram<\/a> was in search of, one team went as high as $14 million.<\/p>\n

Host: \u201cYour big move this offseason, Bowen Byram. So he still had one 12 months left. You signed that extension with Kevin Adams. It was a two-year deal. Buffalo made a change throughout the season to Jarmo Kakalinen as general manager. It gave the look of Bowen Byram wanted a situation where he could have the potential to be the primary defenseman.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ferris: \u201cThat whole setup for Bo began back when he signed his two-year extension, his bridge deal. At the moment, I believe if we might have went to arbitration, we might have gotten five and a half a 12 months at probably the most.<\/p>\n

Jarmo got here within the pitcher, and he understands the business. He understands Bo desired to play more, and unfortunately, the trail wasn\u2019t there for him. Jarmo really desired to keep them, but just didn\u2019t have the the cap space, and the chance got here.<\/p>\n

It Feels Like There Is At Least One Big Trade Out There This Offseason<\/a><\/p>\n

Jarmo had tons of interest in a trade. He had, had possible trade on the table, and gave the team permission to have a conversation with me to see exactly where the dollars were once he had his trade possibility in hand.\u201d<\/p>\n

Host: \u201cBecause lots of those trade prices, right, are sort of like with the considering that he\u2019ll hopefully extend there. Like they\u2019re not going to pay this premium to get him for just another season.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ferris: \u201cAnd he had the chance, you recognize, to sign $14 million with one team. But anyway, it ended up being Chicago. Resulted in 12.5 a 12 months with a full no-move clause, so that you just\u2019re not traded partway through to, because there’s a tax profit in, in Chicago.\u201d<\/p>\n
