Capitals Dodge a Bullet by Passing on Bowen Byram

Washington's decision to stay away from Bowen Byram in the trade market is looking smarter by the day, especially after the shocking deal that sent the young defenseman elsewhere. The Capitals clearly saw something in Byram's situation that made them pump the brakes, and that restraint might have saved them from a costly mistake. Sometimes the best trade is the one you don't make, and this could be a case study in front office discipline.
