Apparently going by the draft thread he was in attendance. Sudbury should be in full tank mode. Crazy if they are not. Byfield could be the first player to score 100 goals in midget since Stamkos. Even if he didn't report the assets for another team to acquire him would be enormous for the Wolves.Flint boards are reporting that a large sign is outside the Dort arena Welcome Quinton Byfield. Must be attending tonights game against London.
Seems the pieces have been put in place however, whenever recent games are close the players go all out for the win. Coaches seem to be placing winning as their first priority. Today's game against the Petes should go a long way in deciding where this team wants to finish. I still believe they would gladly take second last as to avoid having to make a decision on taking Byfield over a defenceman that they so drastically need. What they must also consider that both Chayka and Bokanov are not going to get status for the up coming draft so they would be available in the Euro draft. Flint would get first choice on them if Sudbury plans on taking part in this draft. As they stand now with Malik and Lipinov on the roster they can not participate. Would be my guess that if Sudbury stays with these players and opts out of the draft it could be the first time in any draft in any sport that the team with the first overall pick, if the Wolves were to finish last would forfeit.Apparently going by the draft thread he was in attendance.

who are the rookies that impressed you the most this year? For me the top 3 were Murray, Ross, and Hutchinson. I will say these players have a good future for the Wolves.
On other note I know everyone wants Byfield, however, I hear Drysdale has closed the gap and is a very close second to Byfield. I would prefer Byfield however i don't think we be disappointed if we got Drysdale.
By the way the Wolves are winning games they must disagree with you or they would be losing a few to secure that first pick to get him. With are scouting record over the last 4 years, surely they can't be wrongByfield is by far above everyone else.....

I have to disagree with you. I don’t believe any team goes out there intentionally losing games regardless of their evaluation of players in the upcoming draft. They might tweak their rosters to give them a better chance to lose or change deployment of lines in certain situations but they won’t tell the boys to go easy on the other team tonight. It surely doesn’t mean that they want Drysdale more then Byfield. Plus the players are playing for themselves and they know there are scouts watching every shift. Would players risk their future for the sake of the 1st pick?? I know I wouldn’t!
Tweek roster for a better chance to lose?
I dont think I like the sound of that.
I don't think you understand what I mean.
I guess you don't want the 1st pick overall this year?
They played Bowan a few times. What was the thought process there? Let the kid come in and compete if we lose because of him no big deal. That's all I'm saying. You're reading way too much into what I wrote
Billoik is saying that we would be losing on purpose if we wanted Byfield and therefore, since we are winning, we prefer Drysdale. I disagree with what he said and used this as an example.
Please don't make more out of what I wrote then that.
