In the 2024-25 season, he played all 82 games and scored a career-high 38 points (seven goals, 31 assists).
In 246 career games with the Avalanche and Sabres, Byram has 110 points (33 goals, 77 assists) with 313 blocks and 337 hits.
The Sabres also signed 18-year-old defenseman Radim Mrtka, the No. 9 pick in the 2025 draft, to a three-year entry-level deal on Tuesday.
