The Buffalo Sabres and Chicago Blackhawks complete a trade centered on a high draft selection. Buffalo sends defenseman Bowen Byram to Chicago, and in return the Sabres acquire the No. 4 overall pick in the 2026 NHL Draft. Multiple reports also describe additional components to the deal: Buffalo receives third-year defenseman Louis Crevier, who recorded a career-best 25 points in his first full NHL season, along with a second-round pick at 46th overall. Other coverage frames the transaction as Blackhawks acquiring Byram while giving up a pair of draft picks, including the 4th overall selection and another pick (45th overall is mentioned in one report), plus Crevier going to Buffalo. Following the trade, the Sabres use the newly acquired No. 4 pick to select Daxon Rudolph in the 2026 NHL Draft. Coverage across outlets therefore focuses on both the player movement—Byram to Chicago and Rudolph selected by Buffalo—and the draft assets and Crevier included in the exchange.
