He reminds me A LOT of Drew Doughty.
Just the way he plays with that chip on his shoulder all the time. And even in those two clips just then you can see it. He isn't a dirty player, but he's also going to be one of those guys who will make sure to get an extra shot in on a guy after he knocks him down as well. Very similar to Doughty in that regard.
Obviously he has a lot of developing that would need to happen for him to reach Doughty's level, but I do think he has that kind of upside and especially if he can work on reigning in that arrogance he has just enough at the NHL level to allow him to really succeed, he definitely has the makings of a fantastic player.
Duncan Keith is another one who has that arrogance/subtle dirty ability in his game.

Puck got out of the zone and an opposing player can attack with speed. Bad time to ignore the puck Byram!
Barrie does a sexy stick check there to keep the puck in the zone.
Yknow it's gonna be weird seeing the number 44 not being worn by a journeyman defender.

Go post this on the Byram prospect thread on the main board and I think you'll gain a friend for life
He been playing very well this year, but the Giants as a whole are massively underperforming, especially offensively. Bowen masked a lot of scoring deficiencies last season with his historic goal scoring season, but this year his goals dried up and they are struggling mighty to produce.
I feel a lot of people - including myself - overrated their forward corps quite a lot.

Just a normal hockey uniform. Nothing to see here.
I need a 'dislike as much as I've ever disliked anything in my life' button. I would just give up on my hockey career if I was ever asked to wear something like this.

I don't see a problem with it. It's not like they are their new everyday sets. It's fun for the fans ans especially the kids. I showed them to my wife and my daughter this morning and they absolutely loved them.

We can add it to the list of outfits women and children like, that I'd never wear.
Is that Chayka and Dubas' Catholic High School?

Good interview too, they ask him a lot of questions including Newhook and Makar.

I lol'd at the quote in the tweet. Byram is always so humble
Hope he has a big tournament.

Yeah... He'll never be one of my favorites due to his arrogance but if he can become a solid partner for Makar, well, hopefully the two opposite like personalities will create magic.
What's exactly arrogant in that quote? He was asked about his skating. What should've been his reply? "I'm decent".

I bet if you asked Makar about his skating, he would say "Yeah, it's pretty good I guess" and then look embarrassed.
Different personalities for sure. But nothing there is arrogant. It's being honest. Makar downplays his talent quite a bit, and is a great kid. But I do like a guy who doesn't use fake modesty when asked about his ability.
PS
Not saying Makar does the whole "fake modesty" bit, as he is just a shy kid.

Arrogance?
BB seems confident and highly intelligent. Excellent physical skills with a strong IQ could make him a very good player.
