I really hate when TheLastWord sports steals these threads away from the real fans for clickbait money grabs. Seriously, your site deserves to be banned.
You know, I am quite happy with this pick. Will there be better players picked after him? Absolutely in my mind, however, he provides a unique skill set where he's able to provide offence from the backend, but also can shutdown opponents. As I said in the past he can make the NHL next season, but he will probably be primarily a shutdown defender (for the next couple of years). Remember he is an opportunist defender and these type of lads need a lot of seasoning and learning from mistakes. Most importantly timing will be his biggest issues as he's going to play against smarter players and ones who will outskate him as well. There is still a lot to like here, he was one of the hardest players to breakdown on the forecheque and that should go along ways when he gets to his prime.
Welcome Byram to Colorado and can't wait to cheer you on! I don't trust Button's opinion about him, but I hope his scouting eye is accurate on this one!
