Value of: Quinton Byfield

[Byfield]

Come one, come all.

The Kings should be fielding some calls for him by now.

What would your team offer?

[Hoglander]

But why?

 

[AnThGrt]

Kings should not be fielding offers and will not be fielding offers.

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Lol why would they sell on a kid just starting to break out?

People said this about Puljujarvi, Kravtsov, Yakupov, and countless other disappointments.

Byfield looks more like them, than he does a star in the NHL IMO.

If I were LA I would try to trade him to Toronto as a package for Matthews.

 

[Brett44]

Byram for Byfield

Byram for Byfield

Oof.

 

[Rorschach]

Byfield is an ok NHL player for the moment and cost controlled. He’s no Tim Stutzle but he shouldn’t be shopped for rentals.

People also said this about Jack Hughes. Byfield's only 20 and just had a near ppg playoffs

If you’re LA you go down with the ship w Byfield. Just not worth trading him at his lower value now.

lol, Bit of a difference with Byfield. He just needs to grow into his frame.

And that’s the thread. I’m not a huge Byfield supporter and I completely agree.

 

[Conbon]

Kings need to play him at his natural center position in a top 6 role before even considering moving him. Look at Bennett and Thompson. All it took was an opportunity at their natural position with some talent to play with and they look completely different.

Same excuse was used for Puljujarvi.

I can and have given plenty more examples than you can.

My point was unless you believe he's more like Hughes, chances are his value is as high as it's ever going to be right now. The whole "Why trade him when his value is at his lowest?" is a nonsense statement made by people who are bad at gambling and understanding basic math.

This x 4,912,630

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

If Lindholm isn’t willing to sign with Calgary I think that would be an interesting basis of a trade.

Huh? I guess you just don't like him as a player because for some reason you seem to think he's a bust when he's actually been progressing quite well from my POV

I don't like what I've seen, but that's just my opinion. You have yours which is fine.

I simply see more similarities to busts, than I do with eventual star players. I don't think he has the brain for it all, personally.

I don’t think Byfield is untouchable, it’s just that we have no need to trade him and we do have some reason to keep him. But none of this matters if GM Blake keeps McClellan as coach. Now if there was a deal for a top five prime goaltender AND a deal to unload Petersen’s contract, then perhaps. Especially after we sign Gavrikov, if that happens.

Bingo, except "need" to trade should be open minded as to whether or not an offer that is sufficiently profitable is tendered. Then it becomes a matter of do you keep the hand you have, or do you hope the profitable offer has enuf upside to pay off.

In ordinary due course, By should not be traded
IF it was a package w/principal piece being KAM from nyr, that is something to consider.

dealing kam normally is a big no no
ny would have to bet on Robertson, Scanlin + Lindgren + Harpur + Mikkola
but it could be worth it if By improves -- reasonable but not a given --- and has chemistry w/Ws -- again, reasonable, but not a given

from LA side KAM is the larger, good skating, terrific reach LD constantly sought in dozens of threads

room for things to go wrong
either way/for both
BUT
also room for win win

Byfield is a larger and more skilled player. No doubt he'll be a very good player.

Problem here is that the Kings management think they can compete for the cup. When in reality they should focus on developing the assets into successfully NHL players. Some Kings fans are confused on this. We are not going anywhere with a 36 year old 1C. Just ask Boston. So why would we trade the only potential 1C we have?

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

His value has never been lower and he's on a downward trajectory, you won't like what you hear.

Whenever I see people “post stats” without actually saying the numbers, it’s never actually as impressive as it’s made out to be. 1 goal, 4 points in 6 games. Team worst -5 as well.

Byfield for Lafreniere... Straight up

Just for fun and meme potential for the Kings.. Lol
