Prospect Info: Bowen Byram - D [2019: 4th Overall] Part II: Now serving a side of overconfidence!

[Anders Cain]

If you need some reminding of what Rantanen can do in that position just watch the 3 assists he got in the game below - all of them being with passes from behind the net:

Mmm that was satisfying to watch... I need hockey lol

Some of the comments in that thread are absurd. Calls for moving Girard or putting Graves on nacho duty for example.

That would be one hell of a "poutine"

Note: poutine means "mess" in French Canadian

It does? Never heard that one before.

Yep. You can confirm it online, or with @Frenchy

 

[Balthazar]

Yep. You can confirm it online, or with @Frenchy

I can confirm that it doesn't get used.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

Here’s the interview with Byram.

Kid sounds focused. Apparently he hasn’t heard from the Avs yet.

 

[Metallo]

Yep. You can confirm it online, or with @Frenchy

Poutine is also used to describe some unglamorous/boring part of work or activity.
As in « Sara takes care of the poutine, I’m here for big picture and big ideas. »

 

[katatoniak]

I can confirm that it doesn't get used.

Yep, I might have heard a couple times in 30 years. So it exists but it's not used. It is used a lot more like Metallo just described it. Anyway, poutine is awesome.

I heard it once or twice only. As far as i'm concern my translation of poutine is : heart attack on a plate , waiting to happend

 

[Foppa Frossa]

We enjoy going to Poutineville whenever we're in Canada. Always get the smoked meats

If you are going to die, die happy and stuffed. That's my motto.

Poutine: Poutine is a dish that includes french fries and cheese curds topped with a brown gravy. It originated in the Canadian province of Quebec and emerged in the late 1950s in the Centre-du-Québec area. It has long been associated with Quebec cuisine. Wikipedia

It's delicious, you can add stuff to it like guac and tomatoes. Bacon/smoked meat etc. It also means mess in some circumstances, because it makes a mess when you eat it. It may not be used a lot but it definitely has been used that way.

Back on track, Bowen Byram is an amazing hockey player.

It's going to be kinda weird to see a legit player and not a scrub or a young player in preseason wearing #44 for the Avs. The only other number I can think of that has that status is #7.

Obviously there are more but those two just always seem to pop up regularly.

I'm hoping he takes over 4 from Barrie. He wore 4 for team Canada.

I don’t know if this has been talked about in terms of Byram’s production stagnating this year, but the Giants were a much worse team this season.

Vancouver finished last season with the 2nd best record in the league and this year they were 14th. I don’t know the ins and outs of their entire roster, but at least going by record they may have had less talent this season.

They actually returned a lot of their top talent from the previous year's team and were a huge favorite in the WHL... they were probably the most disappointing team in the WHL this season. Davis Koch is a really underrated player and he should have gotten contract interest in NA... but Vancouver should have been a much better team than they turned out to be.

Gotcha, thanks for the heads up.

Still i think he’ll take 44 as he wore 45 due to fking barberio wearing 44 atm

I wouldn't mind it at all. 44 is a damn good looking number and I like the whole two defensemen both taken at 4 = 44 thing. Makar kind of has it with 8 = 4 + 4.

Yes I'm weird with numbers.

 

[SOLR]

Yep. You can confirm it online, or with @Frenchy

I'm from Quebec City, a french-speaking native. Poutine doesn't/didn't mean mess before it meant poutine (the dish). We then started using poutine to describe a mess.

 

[Pokecheque]

4, 44, makes no difference to me. It's interesting because 4 actually has had some very notable Avs defenders wear it. Rob Blake, John-Michael Liles, and Tyson Barrie. Uwe Krupp was the first to wear it for the Avalanche.

The ironic thing is, Barbs said he just had it handed to him, he doesn't care about what number he wears.
