Byram player better as the WJC progressed. You were probably only watching the US. He’s a good player who has had a down year offensively. The entire Giants team has stuck this year. It isn’t a good club and they don’t score.

Not for him apparently. He thinks every single prospect in the league sucks if they aren’t affiliated with Vancouver

He didn’t make an impression at all. In fact even Bahl impressed me more than Byram. Addison was the go to PP QB. I expected a helluva lot more from him. Drysdale’s skating and IQ is superior

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
I was super impressed with Lafrenierre, Hayton, Drysdale, Cozens, Podkolzin and Stutzle at the WJC’s.Doyle Hargraves wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2020 9:56 amNot for him apparently. He thinks every single prospect in the league sucks if they aren’t affiliated with Vancouver

Keep in mind folks this is the same guy that said Cale Makar was a garbage fire at the WJC and not worthy of being a 1st round pick.

I was giving Makar the gears but he was still much more poised at the WJC in every other aspect of the game much more than Byram.

So you envision the same level of success in the NHL out of Byram in what we’ve seen in MakarDoyle Hargraves wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2020 10:15 amYou said Makar shouldn’t have even been a 1st rounderChef Boi RD wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2020 10:11 amI was giving Makar the gears but he was still much more poised at the WJC in every other aspect of the game much more than Byram.

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
I didn’t say that at all. You are notorious for carving up kids six months after they were drafted but I’m an asshole for saying anything about Olaf who was drafted four years ago.

Olli is playing good hockey right now in a far superior leagueDoyle Hargraves wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2020 10:26 am I didn’t say that at all. You are notorious for carving up kids six months after they were drafted but I’m an asshole for saying anything about Olaf who was drafted four years ago.
In a redraft I’m taking defenceman - Broberg, Seider and Soderstrom ahead of Byram. All 3 were much more impressive at the WJC’s. Byram had a Florida Garrison like season last year. It’s a one off

Olli is 22 years old for fuck sakes. No shit he’s in a better league than an 18 year old.
The draft was six months ago. Little soon to be writing the kid off. As I said the Giants aren’t very good and they don’t score. It’s a team sport. I guess you struggle with that concept.

The Giants are 21 wins 20 losses and are leading the wildcard race in the west only two points out!

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
The Giants have 118 goals for in 46 games. They are anemic offensively. It’s a team sport. I guess since all you did for sports was ride around on a bike in tights, you don’t quite grasp the concept of team sports.
