Leafer, dude, you don't need to bump this thread just to nonchalantly talk crap about Byram. Can't you just be happy with Dach like the rest of us Hawks fans and allow Avs fans to try to feel the same way for Byram? There is no need to constantly berate the kid in his own thread.

You either really hate Byram or you really love him. Either way it’s a strange obsession.

Meh. His agenda is so comically obvious that I don't think anyone is upset. He's just building a reputation as a complete idiot and I for one say let him do his thing.

He better retire.

Why would he stop? Who will we laugh at in a few years when Bowen proves how good he is?

We've been though it with Cale already. Experts questioning the league he came out of, nitpicking his production in his freshman year, saying he is a one dimensional OFD etc.

I watch him in a semi-regular basis and I absolutely have no worries about his game.

Watched Byram live on Wednesday.

He had a very strange game. Elite skater, great hands, sees the ice very well when he's puck carrying. But he would just not shoot the puck, even when a lane opened up. Also, he fell or got knocked down at least 10 times.

What I did notice from him, is that he doesn't engage in getting rattled by opponents. They were trying to get under his skin all game but he wasn't retaliating verbally or physically.

He also was very frustrated with his teammates when they couldn't get a clean break out, especially on the many PPs they had. He wanted better out of himself and them.

Vancouver is a much worse team than last year. He's far and away their best player. He creates more space and offensive opportunities than any forward on that team. He's doing fine, and Colorado will love this pick.

Giants are having a poor year. A lot of people, including myself, overrated their forwards quite a lot. I see a player who is a gear above his teammates and because of that there is a disconnect.

3 goals, 13 assists, +5, 59 penalty minutes with 67 shots on goal.

Less than 5% shooting percentage. Even if he could maintain these paces at the NHL level he's at best a 10 goal scorer.

 

[Lemonlimey]

He’s working on the rest of his game this season instead of trying another historic scoring campaign. I’ve liked the physicality
