Blackhawks Trade No. 4 Pick to Sabres for Byram, Greenway
- On Tuesday, the Chicago Blackhawks acquired defenseman Bowen Byram and forward Jordan Greenway from the Buffalo Sabres. Chicago sent the No. 4 overall pick in the 2026 NHL Draft, a second-round pick, and defenseman Louis Crevier to Buffalo.
- Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson completed the deal to address defensive needs after trading Connor Murphy in March. Byram joins the roster with one year remaining on his $6.25 million contract.
- Byram, 25, recorded a career-high 42 points in 82 games last season, helping the Sabres win a division title. Greenway, a 29-year-old veteran, provides checking-line depth despite being limited to 74 games over the past two seasons.
- Buffalo Sabres general manager Jarmo Kekalainen secured the No. 4 pick to target defensive prospects in this weekend's draft. The 6-foot-8, 228-pound Crevier joins Buffalo's blue line as the team manages cap constraints.
- Chicago aims to sign Byram to a long-term extension soon, as he becomes an unrestricted free agent next summer. The Blackhawks continue building around young talents including Artyom Levshunov and Kevin Korchinski.
