Sabres Elect for Salary Arbitration with Bowen Byram
ERIE COUNTY, NEW YORK, JUL 6 – Buffalo Sabres and Utah Mammoth use team-elected arbitration for restricted free agents Bowen Byram and Jack McBain to negotiate contracts and prevent offer sheets.
- On July 6, the Sabres and Mammoth elected arbitration for Byram and McBain, with hearings scheduled from July 20 to August 4.
- The Sabres' election for arbitration with Byram, who is wary of high defense salaries, aimed to remove offer-sheet threats and assert control over contract negotiations.
- Both players posted strong seasons, with Byram scoring 38 points in 82 games and McBain recording 27 points in 82 games.
- Team-Elected arbitration locks Byram and McBain into short-term deals unless they negotiate before hearings, with players choosing contract length, potentially becoming free agents after two years.
- NHL teams' use of arbitration, a rare practice in NHL and MLB, influences players' career timelines by enabling two-year deals that lead to free agency in 2027.
