Sportsnet: Q. Byfield Available?

[Honour Over Glory]

Kopitar is 6-3 220 legit, when you see Vilardi stand next to him you realize Gabe is 6-1 200. Gabe is unphysical and gets injured if you breathe on him too briskly.

Villardi has played every game this season so far and he's just 25yrs old, a few seasons of some bad injury luck is hardly that big of an issue with the potential he has shown and realized so far.

There was a time where a stiff enough fart towards Fiala put him on the IR, doesn't mean that was his norm the rest of his career. Also, Arvidsson was far worse for that sort of thing, still is.

I listen to Kypreos every day on radio every day. 90% of the shit he puts out is speculation. He's not connected anymore...i'm not sure he really ever was,

Kopitar is older than Methuselah and Danault can’t score. It’s definitely time to trade the young C

Makes about as much sense as trading EP at his lowest value cementing a rebuild and pissing off Quinn only to experience what Sabres fans are going through with Jack and Sam.

People get insanely stupid around the TDL .

 

[FSL KINGS]

I wouldn't say breaking out. He's been less productive this season than last but with 2 more minutes of ice time.

Byfield was played with Foegele & Jeannot for most of the season. His points shocking took a hit. When Byfield is placed with skilled players he starts popping. Unfortunately, the King's coach doesn't like when players get creative & has said as much in interviews recently. Being a Philly fan I'm sure you understand about creativity destroying coaches.

You're just saying that because of the time Lizotte roughed him up & put Vilardi on the IR.

I don't think the Flames have the horses (Blasties?) to get this done, assuming Byfield is even on the table.

That being said this is one of the few guys I would love to see the Flames chase full heartedly. Building around a core of Byfield, Parekh, and Wolf actually sounds viable compared to whatever motely crew of spare part the Flames usually ice.

 

[Jericho111091]

He's likely "available" in the sense that for the right price anybody could be moved, but i don't think the Kings are in any rush to trade him and few teams would be willing to pay the necessary price to convince them.

Maybe the way to enter the Rantanen era in LA

 

[Bandit]

Kopitar has said he is retiring after next season

He did? Where?

Also, isn’t he already retired?

Clickbait

Byfield is one of the least available players in the league. Kopitar has said he is retiring after next season and Q is finally breaking out.

He is he though?

Like 16g/50pt pace….

 

[Freaky Styley]

This has got to be the dumbest 'rumor' out there. Byfield is not for sale.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Byfield was very good last year with Kopitar. I wouldn't give up on him just yet. He's likely a PPG player in the next couple of years.

 

[Seattle King]

Apparently people havent noticed, but Byfield is the Kings #1 C right now. He has been leading all forwards in minutes for the past couple of weeks, and his deployment with Fiala is really clicking. We are (FINALLY) watching the changing of the guard from Kopi to Quentin.
What possible reason would LA have to trade him now, short of some ridiculous offer that will never be made?

Like 16g/50pt pace….

Look at his recent work
