Normally I am with you, but this is definitely a win for Colorado in my eyes. Not at all sold on Byram’s ability to make an effective read. Mittelstadt is a very clever and efficient two way possession monster.
He’s 22. Byram had some nice games against the Wild. byram makes a few sick plays every game. Lots of clever Dzome passes. Holds the blue line really well. Creates a lot of off sides. When he’s skating full speed, very few can keep up. He hits a lot and blocks a lot of shots. Way more than Mitts.
Byram had a brutal deployment this season. On his off hand for most of it. Playing, by far, the most minutes with RyJo. Manson made a few brutal mistakes that put Byram in some bad situations. His PDO was that of an unlucky player until his luck turned about 5 weeks ago and he’s been playing well since.
He is injury prone. Two years in a row of some leg ailment.
He’ll surpass Power pretty soon in your pecking order. You’ll see. Buffalo will easily win this trade if Byram stays healthy.
