Looking at his stats so far in 7 games looks to be extremely pedestrian at best. It seems as though his play has gotten progressively worse over the last two years. Did the Kings make a mistake drafting him so high?

I thought we talked about revoking thread starter privileges.

How did his play get worse over the last two years when he set career highs last season?

SensontheRush · 2024-10-24T08:39:47-0400

Kings are having a rough start to the year. That is the only answer.

I think we only discussed revoking thread starter privileges on the Sens board.

Perhaps a wider discussion is needed

Is Lafreniere? He had 2 more pts last season than Byfield.

Another quality thread by Adrianopolous

He is missing PLD.

This about Stutzle?

Rcknrollkillnmachine · 2024-10-24T08:53:27-0400

From Puck Podcast, Eddie said that for now he is on the wing after initial games at center but from what he knows will be returned to center later in the season since Turcotte is having a good season so far in the middle.

Byfield has time still.

He's gotten progressively better, not worse, over the last two years, but some of the praise last year was a bit premature. He benefitted a lot by playing with Kopitar and Kempe and, unsurprisingly, he's not having the same success away from them this season. I'm sure that he'll eventually get going as the team gets going, but that's part of the issue. He still isn't a difference maker, and you hope for that from a #2-overall pick. He can certainly still get there, though. He's slowly improving. It's just happening more slowly than most of us expected.

Not in the least.

BenningHurtsMySoul · 2024-10-24T08:58:14-0400

Which other 21 year old power forwards can do that?

He'll be fine.

TGWL · 2024-10-24T08:59:02-0400

He had his best season last year. How has his play gotten worse over the last 2 years?

DickSmehlik · 2024-10-24T09:00:53-0400

Before this thread gets to 60 pages, I will save everyone some time.

No, he is not a bust but he likely isn't the next untouchable superstar that some have penciled him in as.

Because of a causality loop in the space time continiuum obviously

Do you not know what bust means? 20 goals at 21 years old isn't a bust. He could settle in as a pedestrian 50 point forward for the rest of his career and that still isn't a bust. Get out of here with that kind of thing.

You can argue draft position if you want. But I'd still argue his draft position was fine. He's on pace career wise with lots of other players taken in the 1st round his year.

Voight · 2024-10-24T09:19:46-0400

Hell have a better career than Laf.

Allow weird question to ask after he had a career year last season.

Trash Panda · 2024-10-24T09:21:47-0400

Early season over reaction is early.

2014nyr · 2024-10-24T09:24:23-0400

it's more insane to take this question seriously than to ask it

belfour30 · 2024-10-24T09:27:55-0400

If your definition of "bust" is "fails to meet expectations" then there are a lot of busts. A bust is someone who is either not an NHL player or struggling to hang in the league.

Everyone else is disappointing.

Fatass · 2024-10-24T09:29:51-0400

Not a bust. He’s clearly an NHLer. But he’s not going to be a difference maker. He’s just one of those many middle six forwards that can be tossed into a blender.

seafoam · 2024-10-24T09:31:45-0400

Barzal for Byfield please

eXile3 · 2024-10-24T09:35:59-0400

Had 55 points as a 21 year old last year. Looked good in the limited games I saw him in.

Maybe the expectation that a young player is going to set the world on fire at a young age is unreasonable.

57special · 2024-10-24T09:41:27-0400

Expecting a #2 oa pick to be a 1st line difference maker isn't unreasonable.
