Recent Contract Extensions (Sep 23)



Well, not only is Paul Byron healthy and back in the Canadiens lineup, he's feeling very appreciated on Sunday. the team and the player agreed upon a 4-year, $13.6 million contract extension, saving him from unrestricted free agency next summer.  Since being claimed on waivers from the Calgary Flames, he has been a very consistent and important piece of their team, playing at both ends of the ice effectively.  Last season, Byron finished with 20 goals and 35 points in all 82 games, before having off-season shoulder surgery, which gives you a firm indication of what he can do.

I currently have him as a guy who can repeat that performance of 35 points, despite the team regressing in their roster strength.  He should be a guy that just keeps on plugging away and could be a good late round pickup for your pool team.
