Prospect Info: NHL Entry Draft thread: LA Kings select Quinton Byfield 2nd Overall (Part 3)

[BringTheReign]

So did Byfield and Stutzle both get Kings and Sens jerseys sent to their respective houses? Or did the NHL send them a closed unmarked package that they weren't allowed to open?

 

[JKG33]

I'm sure you know better than the Kings' scouts.

Yes, because scouts are always perfect. Theres never any busts what so ever. The best player always goes 1st, 2nd best 2nd, and so on

 

[LAKings88]

Good pick Detroit!!!

 

[RocketKing]

I mean as an overall ability to impact the outcome of a game Byfield is the best pick. Think about having a big strong fast stud that you need to endure 4 rounds of the playoffs. Byfield will be hard to play against and also in the D zone he’s going to be a nightmare to play against. Great pick of the Kings.

 

[kingsboy11]

You know I'm really happy that the Red Wings took him mostly because I didn't want him going to Anaheim

Great pick by Detroit. I wouldn’t be surprised if Raymond ends up better than Stützle.

It really would have sucked if the Ducks had picked Raymond!

 

[funky]

Raymond was in my top 4. Great pick.

 

[crassbonanza]

Pretty f***ing excited about the potential with Byfield, really feels like the kind of prospect that could end up being one of the best in the league. There is a lot to like about the Kings going forward now, however the next few seasons play out the Kings are in a good position.

 

[KINGS17]

Things may be lining up for the Ducks to take Drysdale.

 

[funky]

Ouch. Futa thinks Sanderson is a right shot defenseman

 

[kilowatt]

I’m guessing Ottawa takes Sanderson.

 

[Telos]

So happy we got Byfield! What a pick! GKG!

 

[SFKingshomer]

Sens should go Askarov here.

 

[KopitarFAN]

Sanderson, ouch.

 

[The Pale King]

Thrilled with this pick as both a Kings fan and a long-time Wolves fan (loads of family in Sudbury).

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Yes, because scouts are always perfect. Theres never any busts what so ever. The best player always goes 1st, 2nd best 2nd, and so on

I'm sure you have a great track record though since you already know that Stutzle will be better. Maybe you can explain why, and we'll remember how disappointed you are when the Kings have a new #1 center leading them to success in the future.

 

[ru4reals]

Dayem Jake Sanderson over Drysdale!!! Wow!!!!

 

[DoktorJeep]

Dorion gives Drysdale the heisman

 

[kingsboy11]

So the ducks have choice of Perfetti, Drysdale or Rossi.

 

[sweatypickle]

Great pick by Detroit. I wouldn’t be surprised if Raymond ends up better than Stützle.

this!

 

[Mats26]

Bobby Mac's list sucks...lol

 

[Statto]

I said all along I thought Drysdale would drop, Sanderson was the right pick IMO.

 

[Sleeping Dog]

There had been lots of chatter that ANA was gonna trade this pick. Not sure why unless there’s an overpayment.

 

[JKG33]

I'm sure you have a great track record though since you already know that Stutzle will be better. Maybe you can explain why, and we'll remember how disappointed you are when the Kings have a new #1 center leading them to success in the future.

Nothing that hasn't been said 1000 times in the Byfield vs Stutzle threads over the last few months. Stutzle looks like a more complete player playing against men. Byfield is a giant playing against kids, i don't trust that dominance to translate to the NHL when he's against men

I dont see what the big deal is about me disagreeing on the pick

 

[KopitarFAN]

Maybe Buffalo will finally get that dynamic player to put with Eichel in Rossi or Perfetti?

 

[Sleeping Dog]

Ducks should take Rossi.
