Yhea, I agree that its a good thing that "goons" or "enforcers" or whatever word is appropriate are a dying breed.
I wasn't trying to start an argument. I just thought it was funny that Ryan Graves's name be linked to that sort of player. I think he has a single fight in his NHL career...
Yeah I think we're in agreement here, and FTR I didn't take it as argumentative.

You have to watch Vancouver Giants highlights from this season. That’s the only way I’ve been able to see video of him playing this year.

I'd much rather watch a highlight reel of Byram's defensive plays this season, than his offensive plays.
I know how good he is offensively, I want to see how much he improved defensively like his coaches say.

I got bored last night so I thought I'd take a crack at it. I tried to get highlights of all his points but apparently WHL highlights are the wild west, but I think I got most of them.

Sourdif looks good in that video as well, especially his shot. Could be a nice pickup in the 39-48 range of the draft (where he's ranked by Pronman and Bob).

I like how you can tell around the 10 minute mark he’s heating up. That last goal was my favorite from the last game he played in. Tied the game with a minute left after that one in the clip too.

Watching that, one thing I noticed is he's really good at looking off defenders when he makes a pass on the power play. He doesn't telegraph his intentions much, that's a great quality to have in a PPQB.

The guy’s got a big ol hockey brain. It’s definitely his best attribute.
He makes it look easy a lot of the time. Super smooth.

Hes both really bad and really good at this throughout those highlights not sure if he improved or what the story is... at times he’s gliding along the point with his shoulders squared up to a guy along the wall it’s a disaster waiting to happen imo. Then he does these absurd passes and no look behind the backs that are right in guys’ wheelhouse.
Crazy he scores 3 or 4 goals with next to no net to shoot at on a zero angle

The one thing that stands out to me is his no look passing on the power play. The pass seems to always be right in the wheel house and I can just picture Mikko hammering that home time after time.

I can see that backhand drop-pass being very effective with Mackinnon on the PP.

More likely he'll be feeding that one time pass to Burakovsky on the second PP unit (maybe Hall on the left side 
), but man did Makar and MacKinnon struggle so much this season with getting that one timer pass down. I'm going back and rewatching Avs games and October was brutal between Makar and MacKinnon on the PP.
I do think Byram will steal the second PP's defenseman spot from Girard (when everyones healthy) within his first year.
