Multiple injuries and illnesses have hampered his pro start but he seems healthy and is playing on Kopitar's wing. Points are coming. He is still raw and may never be a Kopitar replacement. He will be his own player tho.
Loved him in his draft year. Haven’t watched him since, but glad to hear he’s turning it around.
He has 2 goals in 23 games. If that's turning it around, then people have very very low expectations.

Uh no.big guys take a while to develop. Just imagine if LA let vilardi go, instead of giving him more time. And byfield is like 10x more talented.
Wild fan - I would love to have him!As a Wild fan, I’d love to take a flier on him.
Seems like he doesn’t fit in LA or is a fringe NHLer?
After the last Byfield thread, and all the King fans said that people keep making these threads even though we tell them he's not available. So I made a mental note to watch for it.... They were right, it's the exact same thing just a different team trying to get him for peanuts.

oh look, here comes the usual good faith discussion from the usual Sens fans
Yes, those 23 games were interrupted by him losing 20 f***ing pounds..."turning it around" means what he's done since returning to first the AHL, then NHL, then ascending to the first line, and now scoring at a 60 point pace over the last little bit and looking very much the part doing so while getting better every game. He's even starting to get annoyed and throw big hits, laying out Hedman last game and someone else the previous.
Sometimes things are more granular than you can handle apparently, and yes, it would be absolutely nonsensical to move Byfield now as he's taking large steps towards his pre-draft expectations.

You have a weird obsession with the Sens. Lol
Kings fans won't want to give him up because of potential he had when drafted and the 2nd overall investment. But wow has he ever been underhwleming at the NHL levelAs a Wild fan, I’d love to take a flier on him.

Thread is dumb yes, but do you mean to say you wouldn’t deal Byfield for Kaprizov?The whole Wild organization has nothing to offer that would move Byfield.
Since he is back from the AHL, he is really noticeable and has 5 points in his last 7 games.
