I thought it was despair for Lafrienere

I mean sure, either one..but I feel like they have the goods to move up to get Byfield

For arguments sake LA, for example, could probably use 3-4 assets as opposed to one in Byfield. Give them the two firsts this year and next years. Maybe have to add in a player or prospect

Imo, Byfield would be that final piece. Big hulking natural center

Nah, just have everyone keep beating up on the Canes goalies. Toronto collapses, Canes give us that sweet high pick.

Biron was on radio today and he expects Hank to play elsewhere and agree to move on. Rangers really wanna keep Georgy he made it sound like. I guess he has some ears in on MSG

Hank isn’t thrilled, as we know
- Slimtj100

sounds exactly like what Kevin Weekes was saying other day

Why the love for Byfield? I've seen him play a few times this year and he's very good, just wondering why he's your target
- SkjeiStadium

Because he’s monster of a man? Lol. They need that undisputed 2C.

I honestly have only read stuff, but he seems like a can’t miss.

I know you're just giving an example but LA has the #1 prospect pool in the league, and it's by a decent margin. I think they're the polar opposite of a team that could use quantity over quality. Detroit may fit that bill though if they lose the lottery. No way they trade #1 though

He wasn't very good in the WJC, but he's having a great year in Sudbury. And like you said, he's a big kid with lots of skill. I'd be thrilled if they got him. Just wondering if you knew something I didn't. I can get on board though!

Well if you want to read up on a few more, take a look at Marco Rossi and Anton Lundell. Both centers that are projected to go top 10, but outside the top 3. Rossi is smaller but what i've seen and read of him makes him my #1 target. Lundell is bigger with a monster shot. I'll see if I can find the piece I read on Rossi that made me really want him

Here's the piece on Rossi from Scott Wheeler at the Athletic:

5. Marco Rossi — C, Ottawa 67’s, 5-foot-9
Rossi has reached video game levels in the OHL. He’s probably junior hockey’s most dominant three-zone player, frankly. And while he’s older than most in this class, the number of remaining doubts I have in the translation of his game sits at zero. Don’t listen to anyone who says he will have to switch to winger at the pro level, either. Rossi is a dominant defensive center who is so strong on his feet and low to the ice that I have literally seen him throw people over his shoulders. There have been times this season when Rossi was so good on faceoffs that teams have moved players to the wing because they can’t beat him. He’s got it all. He’s slick with the puck, he absorbs contact effortlessly and stick checks effortlessly. He can open up and go heel-to-heel to survey the offensive zone and he sees things that other players don’t. Though you have to consider the strength of team and age, I have little doubt as to whether Rossi would be terrorizing teams no matter where he played.

I recently asked Ottawa 67’s general manager James Boyd for his honest opinion on Rossi. He didn’t hold back.

“He’s a phenomenal player. Phenomenal. A few teams that have picked up on it. I’m biased but I think he’s the best player in our league. It’s not often you’ve got a player on your team who is the best offensive player, the best defensive player, the best guy on faceoffs, the best guy on the power play, the best guy on the penalty kill and probably your No. 1 shootout shooter,” Boyd said.

“And the thing is he doesn’t cheat, so as the game goes along, he takes over. The No. 1 thing for me is his skating — which was a concern for some people — is phenomenal. He’s just continued to improve. He is obsessed with getting better. Some guys are interested in getting better, he’s obsessed. If I told him to eat a pound of sunflower seeds every day because it would help him get to the NHL, he’d be right on it. It’s only going to continue. You hear this sort of stuff about Sidney Crosby or Shea Weber when they were juniors, it’s almost like a disorder, the striving to get better. I see the same thing in Marco, nothing’s going to stop him.”

Just wait for Shane Wright in two years. 16 year old exceptional status kid in the OHL who's currently outpacing McDavid's 16yo season

You realize that it's not a real human right? He's listed as 5'4" and 279lbs

I think it's a player profile EP created to test stuff for their website on. Especially considering he plays for the "Testville Pink Panthers" and had 69 goals and zero assists last season in 69gp

His coach, Luca Caputi is the guest on today's Spittin Chiclets episode. I haven't listened yet but I'm interested to hear what he has to say about Wright.

Didn't realize that's what Luca Caputi was up to. I started listening on my commute into work this morning, I guess I'll probably get to the interview on my way home. That should be interesting, that kid looks like a stud.

There's another kid in that same draft, Matthew Savoie, who looks incredible also. He was denied being the 1st player granted exception status in the WHL but was pretty close to getting it. Crazy to think that these kids were born in 2004

Yeah I was just reading something about him vs. Wright either early this morning or yesterday. For whatever reason, he's only played 17 games in the WHL this year and hasn't posted particularly good numbers in those games.
