NHL podcaster Tanbir, who hosts 'Strictly Canucks Talk', has stated the Canucks and Sabres trade talks are really heating up, and it was confirmed by Taj on X.
Buffalo Sabres' general manager Kevyn Adams remains actively seeking trade options for upcoming restricted free agent Bowen Byram, and it appears that traction is being gained.
The 23-year-old defenseman remains one of the hottest trade names, ranking No. 2 on TFP's Summer Trade Watch List.
The Sabres are seeking to add NHL-ready support as they look to make a playoff push next season, and Byram's value as a talented, two-way blue-line specialist has been making a lot of waves.
Vancouver appears to be at the top of the list of teams at this stage
The New York Rangers, Philadelphia Flyers, Calgary Flames, and Vancouver Canucks are all assumed to be part of the pool of contenders. Surprisingly, Vancouver appears to be gaining steam in the competition.
NHL podcaster Tanbir, the host of 'Strictly Canucks Talk', recently uncovered a story that trade talks between the Canucks and Sabres are actually heating up, a report later validated by Canucks follower Taj on X.

While nobody is promising by or on the NHL Draft that a trade will be finalized, some league sources believe one will soon be done for Byram.
Adams has been calling the shots aggressively, and the signs point to huge work being completed on this possible deal as we speak. Byram is wrapping up the final year of his two-year, $7.7 million deal and becomes a restricted free agent on July 1.
