Yes, he was drafted knowing that he was viewed as a high end talent that was going to take time to develop to eventually supplant Kopitar. Having him spend time alongside Kopitar for a season plus benefited him.

No guarantee it will work out, at the draft, that Byfield will develop into a player who will push aside the HHOFer. But unlike the Rangers the Kings picked the right guy for succession.

What a sad last possession for Houston. Great FF this year though.

Sure everyone gets excited when a hockey players scores with one hand. But I do it playing soccer and suddenly I'm "Cheating"

Dominant period from the kings wasters by conceding a least equalizer

Calgary getting dominated by the Sharks thus far

Kings Twitter account is the most honest in pro sports

If you lived on a piece of land thatch scheduled to fall off the continent in a few months, you'd be pretty honest as well.

Yeah that's because Calgary sucks.

And then they fall behind with conceding another late one after dominating for 18 mins

Is Byfield the player worth drafting high and patiently waiting for to develop? Kopitar is getting old. Byfield is sure looking like he’s the young player to push Kopitar out the door. This is exactly what the Rangers missed in their drafts. No young guys to push out the older players.
Coaches will always play their best guys (coaches want to win). They will only play their best guys young guys ahead of the older players if it means a better chance of winning. Byfield looks like a guy the LA coach will be playing ahead of Kopitar. A natural progression to the younger (better) player. Rangers don’t have that.

Coaches do not always play their best guys. Gallant for example never gave the young guys key minutes or PP time. M0ost coaches will go with vets even if they are crap.

Sportsnet isn't doing a Flames broadcast(RIP Greg Millen) so we get the Sharks guys. I don't mind em, they mostly color between the lines but overall not bad.

...nice to see the Kings admitting that goal should have been disallowed and Byfield should have gone to the box for 2 minutes or less...

You don't tend to get called for pulling a stick away from your midsection. Tale old as time.

Kracken have 2 goals of the year that are perfectly legal.
