he had a better one handed pass earlier but it didn’t result in a goal but showed his vision , seeing him in the AHL has been the bright side of COVID and him ,madden,Turk,and kalieve has shown the future is brite.....madden and AK 34 are going to be fun to watch every time on the ice

And fast. He, Turcotte, Kupari and Madden are going to be able to do zone entries on their own. Madden isn't as fast as those guys but he is shifty as heck and he is not slow.

He's actually very good at those short quick one touch type passes. Wrob seems to want plant him in front of the net. He's not in a position most time to play-make from the side walls. That has been Madden's role on that line. Sometimes Byfield and Thomas interchange.

It'll be interesting to see what happens when the team and the coaching staff all get used to one another. These guys have had, what, two weeks together?

It's crazy to me that he looks so freaking huge even vs. men.

That was ugly 
I'm good with him trying to be the hero int hat situation. Wasn't the complaint that he doesn't take the bull by the horns?

I don't mind QB taking a risk, rather he messes up in the AHL and learns from it.

That kind of ties into my criticism thus far...yah, I see a lot of trying to take the 'bull by the horns', but never seems to come out the winner.

Kinda ties into the ol' DL would rather have a tiger than try to paint stripes on a kitty cat.
I'll take the lumps right now for kids trying to make plays--it'll turn around.

Never? What have others in that same draft won or accomplished? Or even guys taken in the first round in 2019?

Luc and Rob are a waste of time and money.
Do they play 3 on 3 OT in the junior, college or European leagues?If not that might be a first exposure for a lot of Reign prospects.

Look, I’m not really comparing him to anyone else...I like the pick to begin with and I still do. I’m just pointing out what I’ve observed so far and I’ve watched quite a bit of the Reign in this early season. From an uneducated point of view, for a #2 pick, I would expect to see some flashes of brilliance at times...I haven’t seen it.

They do in the OHL
People like pronman and wheeler disagree with that.

I've seen him draw a number of penalties and create a flurry of offense thanks to his combination of size and speed. A lot of guys haven't showed up on the scoresheet but have been playing well four games into an atypical AHL season where Ontario's defense has been decimated thanks to all the injuries on the Kings' blueline and their goaltending has been ECHL quality.
Most of the games I've watched has been with Ontario controlling the pace of play and Byfield (and the rest) are getting better every game. They haven't won a game yet, but I'm not seeing them get dominated and outmatched by opponents. And this year is more about development versus winning, because there is nothing to win in the AHL this year.
