C Quinton Byfield (2020, 2nd, LAK) part IV

[Osprey]

Out with stomach flu tonight

I thought that he looked pretty invisible tonight...

This reminds me of a story that I read recently about his mom calling him while he was preparing meat that he'd frozen, thawed and re-frozen and telling him that he couldn't eat it and had to throw it out. A few weeks later and he's out with stomach flu, one cause of which is improperly prepared food. The Kings need to pay to have someone cook all of his meals before he accidentally kills himself!

Bust!

Stutzle has a Generational stomach

Would be the most Kings franchise thing ever to have a prospect Oregon Trails himself

Man, I *told* Byfield to wait for conditions to improve before crossing that river...

Byfield seems like a timid player in he needs to get comfortable in his environment and once he does he dominates. Makes sense why he doesn’t do well in short tournaments.

Couldn't agree more. Looked really tentative at the beginning of the season and has now come a long way. Seems to be a player that I wouldn't be surprised if the coaching staff is constantly reinforcing to him how talented he is.

I was a bit disappointed in his start but, I've really enjoyed watching his maturation. He's gonna be really good if he believes in himself.

 

[Mr Rogers]

I think he will get there, but it does sometimes take longer for these bigger guys to really get going. I don’t think 40-40 is out of question for him, and I hope he gets there even as a Ducks fan. You see fewer of these types of centres (Staal or even Getzlaf really) around these days and it would be great to see a youngster who plays a similar game break into the league

 

[Arthur Morgan]

When have I ever knocked Byfield? I love the prospect and what he can become. I don’t view his ceiling as high as some others on here, though.

sorry I may have read a little too much into ur previous post in a negative way

Waiting runs the risk of all the oxen dying.

 

[NuxFan09]

Leads the Reign in scoring with 16 points in 21 games. He and the rest of the team seem to be picking it up lately.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

5 goals, 10 points in his last 9 games. Appears to be figuring more out game by game, particularly with his body usage.

 

[Dr Salt]

Imagine having Byfield ranked 17th on a prospect ranking...

I even remember him finishing through on his check on the D on the forecheck a time or two last night, which he had not been doing much of up until this point.

Does he get a game in with the Kings anytime this season?

Once the OHL season starts up, the expectation is that he'll be called up to LA and play six games. Kaliyev as well most likely.

Cools thanks feel like Byfield is in the best place to develop in the AHL Do you folks think he goes down to the OHL once it restarts?

No shot. I mean if it's still going after the conclusion of the NHL regular season, perhaps, since we have no idea if/when the OHL will start.

But following semi-normal rules where he gets sent out at the start of OHL season, no chance.

That makes sense i guess.

 

[Mats26]

That makes sense i guess.

AHL for as long as the Kings can drag it. But then the same case can be made for Kaliyev I guess?

I figured once the OHL is back they'd be sent down. The I guess is just a habit I have.

Byfield stripped the puck in the low slot in a previous Condor-Reign game but was stopped. Tonight, he did again it but this time he scored. Held onto the puck for an extra second to make one more deke this time. Impressive.

The OHL is a waste of time for him.

 

[kingsboy11]

here's the goal

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Continuing his stretch of PPG+ play and continually demonstrating growth, man this kid is going to be a f***ing wrecking ball.

Best player in the draft, IMO.
Once he figures out how to use his size, strength and speed as a weapon, lookout.

I've said if Byfield hits his ceiling, he's going to be the best player in the draft. Even better than Laf, Stutzle, etc.

Last 6 games, he is +9
First 18 games, he was -17
