[LastWordArmy]

The first overall pick in the 2018 OHL Priority Draft, Quinton Byfield has lived up to the hype for the Sudbury Wolves. In his rookie season, he scored 29 goals and 32 assists for 61 points in 64 games. It was enough to earn him both the OHL and CHL Rookie of the Year Awards.

I was leaning Stutzle, but I don't think they lose with either player.

Welcome to L.A. Mr. Byfield

There was no way to lose choosing between Byfield and Stützle, but I’m very happy with our choice. Congrats to Ottawa as well.

Congratulations. Ive been a fan of his since he came to Sudbury as you can see by the jersey in my profile picture. You are getting a player who is a joy to watch and is a gentleman. Cant wait to see him in your line up.

[Pucknut50]

Had a rough day at work. Then Trump comes out and stops any talks regarding Stimulus. My stocks tank. Hey at least I can celebrate the Kings taking Stutzle.

Seems like a good, humble kid from a solid family. You can tell in this video he is still a very young person and is going to be fun watching grow up with this franchise.

 

[DAkings20]

QB is still growing to, going to be a monster

 

[Bandit]

The pick I wanted. Now we can proceed to arguing about whether he makes the team next year or not.
