I mean, I wouldn't say it's common but things like mono, a severe case of the flu, or C19 can cause 10-20 lbs of weight loss within two weeks. Mono in particular ends up hitting a lot of college-aged kids, so right around Byfield's age. I think the same thing happened to Chromiak and Clarke if I'm remembering correctly. Much of the weight ends up being water weight fluctuation, but it still takes a while to get back to feeling normal at a stable weight afterwards.
Good point re mono - that does take you out for quite awhile.. major water weight loss should not happen because if it did you would have renal and other organ failure.. at this level if anything like that was in play they would be in a hospital on an iv.
Definitely agree on Turcotte, he needs to stay healthy and play.
Yes keep him away from Koala and keep playing top line, pp1, ot1 etc in Ontario.. vs some restrained, keep pet in a cage thing at NHL level
Iafallo and him looked really good I thought to start the year together. Want to see more of it.
He was really flying today. Got first star of the game.
Finally allowing the kids to play. About time.
I know right? What's the point of giving Tynan, a career AHL player, all of the first line and PP1 minutes? So thank you Marco Sturm.

When Vegas blew up in year 1 it really hit home the point that all these guys in the NHL are really good, and some of them just need better opportunity or usage to bust out. Not sure if that is what happened with Tage as I do not watch alot of Sabers games, but I wonder if opportunity led to his big spike last year.
He didnt start putting up numbers until he was 24 in his D+5 year. Being 6'7" makes him a decent analog for QB I would say. QB is in his D+2 year and is 20 years old. I would like to see him spend the entire year in the A.TNT potted 38 goals last year and added 30 assists... it's also what landed him that huge contract.
This kid may have taken a while to develop but he is definitely
He already has 26 points in 20 games this year and would be leading our team with 5 more points than Fiala.
(certainly makes that Ryan O'Reilly trade a tad palatable for Buffalo)
I think all of the teams need to come together and realize what’s best for the league and game. Only issue I see is the AHL teams want to see fights and scrubs because that sells tickets.
