Value of: Quinton Byfield

[bland]

Well, here we are at Tuesday.

Perhaps Fiala meant he had intel that Byfield was going to escort some folks across a border last night?

 

[kilowatt]

I can’t post my sources until Monday when the deal is done.

Happy to announce that I can finally reveal @Fiala's source:

 

[Byfield]

Deal got changed to Clarke but Kypreos prematurely announced it.

Sorry guys

I’ll see myself out

It’s always amazing to me how people are so easily willing to make themselves look like they have zero understanding of this sport to 30 fanbase just to take potshots, which are mostly reaches, at one fanbase.

Why on earth would the kings trade him now? He has looked very good the past few weeks, and everyone and their mother should’ve understood that his trajectory was a much longer one.

 

[Cianide]

Reality is that during the next 2 years nothing Stanley Cup related will happen.
This is the time when you keep your youngsters to groom them for the time after.

I would argue that Kings management sees their time as now. We will probably be somewhat of a buyer at the deadline.

I make it 7 points in 10 games on the top line. His all around game has been great also.

The best part is that he has been essentially playing as a power forward - center lane drives clearing the way for Kempe to get two of his goals against Pittsburgh, flattening Friedman on what may have been his first "real" hit, winning the vast majority of his board battles and converting them into good chances.

The trajectory for Byfield was always going to be rather flat then a very steep incline once (if) he got it. His puck recovery and passing skills are readily apparent, he just needs time and reps to gain confidence. Once he starts looking for his own shot instead of deferring these threads will stop.

 

[LAKings88]

Kempe and Vilardi both showed flashes prior to breaking out. Starting to see those in QB's game now.

 

[Lt Dan]

Thanks for Fiala

Not cool bro

Also, we don't know Faber and Ohgren are going to turn out, they could end up winning this trade

This guy must be Nick Kypreos's source.

I think we are uprising but our success is mostly due to other teams simply refuse to win.
Every time Calgary has the chance to make something happen, they lose against Chicago or someone similar.

Our days will come but not this year

It happens to the best of us... no worries.
Just out of interest since you said you can't revel your source until Monday, where did you get this info from?
This is not a mocking question, i am really interested

 

[funky]

Well, here we are at Tuesday.

to be fair........ he technically didn't specify what Monday. Like any good Mayor or insider they always leave a loophole.

 

[Unbiased Fan]

I think something around Byfield and Petersen for Kaprizov would be a fair deal for both teams.

Byfield is progressing much better then Tage Thompson and Kaprizov brings élite offensive flare which they haven’t had since a long time. ( atleast not to his extent )

Note: Kings definitely add to this.

The absolute last thing the Kings need right now is another scoring winger.

 

[SpooKy]

Think about Joe Thorton and Stamkos. Big centers... need some time to develop. This kid Byfield is a beast who's still a skinny geek

 

[TwzKing]

It cracks me up that even before his draft day it was said over and over again. He will be a project that will take longer than his draft class. Being younger than nearly everyone, and needing to mature physically. Doesn't matter tho since everyone is rushing to scream bust lol.

 

[Little Psycho]

only had one assist last night but was a force in the third. Sent red hot Kempe in on a partial breakaway and set up about three other quality chances. The kid can fly, is learning to use his body, and is looking more confident every week.

Glad Todd is finally rubbing some brain cells together and giving him ice time like how the hell are you supposed to produce with very little ice time? This man and rookies. Sheesh.

The charge is led by Sens fans who can’t seem to talk about Stutzle without bringing up Byfield. It’s Karlsson and Doughty all over again.

 

[Frolov 6'3]

A few Sens fans are terribly unbearable with anything related to Byfield.

 

[LAKings88]

Stutzle has as many points as Fiala.

He should have been the pick in all honesty but the Kings were looking for a Kopi heir apparent and accepted his development curve.

QB will be good. He may not put up the points that Stutzle will but developed the right way he will be a key piece for LA. Just needs confidence that he can play at the highest level. He's getting there.

Quinton Bustfield has a nice ring to it, though.

That's the crux right there - you can get the points that Stützle produces from a variety of sources. High end scorers are available every offseason if you are willing to pay for them.

What you can't find are dominant, massive, productive centers with such speed and agility. It was a project pick because you are betting that you can develop him into that rarest of players even if he isn't as certain to reach his potential as Stützle. The Kings were in the perfect position to take that risk because of the quality of prospects drafted in the preceding years. Had they not had that depth it probably would have been wiser to take the safer route.

Both teams look like they will be ecstatic with their choices. No reason to ride anybody over who went where.

I guess it does for those who have the sense of humor of a two-year old.

We're still missing a couple of pieces, but managment sees our window opening this year.
