Bowen Byram’s agent, Darren Ferris, is set to meet with Buffalo Sabres GM Jarmo Kekäläinen at the Draft Combine to discuss a potential contract extension for the 24-year-old defenseman, who is not a UFA until 2027. Byram had a strong season, tying his career high with 11 goals and excelling in the playoffs. However, Ferris may advise him to explore UFA options due to the increasing salary cap. Meanwhile, the Cleveland Monsters were eliminated from the AHL playoffs, leading to the expected promotion of coach Trent Vogelhuber to the NHL staff.
