Byron scored four goals and seven points through 18 games and figures to play on the third or fourth line.
The Flames upgraded when they claimed Blake Comeau, giving Byron more time to develop in the AHL.

Byron scored three goals and four points over nine games with the Heat. He probably plays a bottom-line role.
No immediate fantasy hockey value in the AHL.
Byron scored 26 goals in 52 games last season while with the Portland Pirates of the AHL, earning an eight-game tryout. Clearly he is an offensive player but the jury remains out whether the diminutive forward can score in the NHL. He will at least need a top-6 lineup spot to be successful-- a role the team does not have open at this point.
