2025 Fantasy Outlook
Byram's offense took a step forward in his first full campaign with the Sabres, as he racked up seven goals and 38 points over 82 games. Staying healthy obviously helped his production, which also included 117 blocked shots, 75 hits and a plus-11 rating. Even after signing a two-year, $12.5 million contract in July, the question remains whether Byram will be a long-term part of the Buffalo blue line. The Sabres already have three defensemen on long-term contracts, though the 24-year-old Byram is also quite talented and could help solidify the team's core should he eventually get a long-term contract. The key now is for Byram to repeat his 2024-25 campaign, or in a best-case scenario, exceed it. What's clear is that he's a top-four defenseman, but he could be a fantasy stud if he can elevate his offense to a 50-point pace. Read Past Outlooks

Overall
Signed a two-year, $12.5 million contract with the Sabres in July of 2025.
Distributes three assists
Byram logged three assists, seven shots on goal and 12 PIM in Sunday's 8-7 win over the Lightning.
ANALYSIS
One of his helpers came on the power play. Byram isn't typically one to mix things up, but he got into it as part of a first-period fracas featuring multiple fights and other dust-ups. On offense, Byram has 10 assists over his last 12 outings. He's at 35 points -- three shy of his career-best total from last year -- while adding 87 shots on net, 76 blocked shots, 35 hits, 42 PIM and a plus-11 rating in 64 appearances.

In a true hockey trade, the Avalanche did right by Byram and traded him to the Sabres in exchange for Casey Mittelstadt at last year's deadline. With a generational defenseman like Cale Makar, Byram was never going to get a chance to shine fully in Colorado. In some ways, his situation didn't change much as he's now sharing a blue line with Rasmus Dahlin and Owen Power, but Byram's ice time went up by two minutes per game following the trade. Looking ahead, Byram should get power-play time and roughly 22 minutes per game overall for the Sabres in 2024-25. He averaged 0.5 points per game following the trade, so pencil the 23-year-old in for a 35-40-point season - though fantasy players will need a backup plan in place since his injury history is just as prominent as his breakout potential.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not available via trade
Byram is not expected to be included in a potential trade for Robert Thomas, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
According to Rutherford, the Blues were previously interested in acquiring Byram, but the Sabres seem unwilling to part ways with him. In Byram's 60 games this season, he has racked up 10 goals, tying a career best, along with 31 points. If Byram can avoid any slumps the rest of the way, he could challenge for the 40-point threshold.
