I'm glad you understand you would need to pay Ottawa to take Byron. Byron is a decent player, I like the guy, but he doesn't fit as a Senator type of player, and makes a bit too much. The cap hit is mostly irrelevant this season, but not next season, and that 3rd year definitely hurts. Buying him out is not an option, and it would cost a lot more than for Ottawa to acquire a buyout contract.
I don't know who would be a better team to trade him too, off the top of my head, but there must be some team that you could trade him to for less, or even up with the right fit.
Maybe the Florida Panthers, they look like they might need a winger, and have cap space.
