Preview: Did the Sabres get better this summer? Our writers break it down

Mike Harrington and Rachel Lenzi hop the boards for the latest edition of Ice Time, now that the NHL draft, the big wave of free agency has passed and Sabres development camp is over.

Mike and Rachel take a moment to discuss the news of the Sabres going into salary arbitration with Bowen Byram, which first broke Sunday night. They discuss what it means and what comes next.

Then it's on to the NHL draft and the flurry of NHL offseason moves — in particular, the two biggest headliners: the Mitch Marner trade to Vegas and Nikolaj Ehlers' move to Carolina, among others (what is Boston doing?).

Finally, they give their takeaways on players who made impressions during the Sabres' development camp, which wrapped up last week, as well as a final prediction on what happens with Byram.
