They are 19 lol. It’s a 19 year olds tournament for defenseman. It’s very rare for 18 year olds to stand out and yet Byram was still used as their shutdown D. How could you possibly come away from the WHC disappointed by how he played. He was a rock.
Romanov was best D man at 18 the year prior. I get it, Byram was rated high when you drafted him and you refused to say he has slipped a bit. You are protecting your best prospect's value and I would too. But I am sure you understand my narrative... He can go up or down in his development. The true test is how he looks when he turns pro IMO.
Should be a dominate piece for Canada at the next WJC right? Dominate in both production and eye test like Sandin and Romanov right? That's what is expected. It's way to early to know anything and even if he has a meh WJC next year, it's still early. Point is, he is not a proven prospect
You can only evaluate on CHL production at the moment and that has some flaws IMO. Today, Byram is all about potential and trends. Saying he has moved from Blue Chip to grade A is not a terrible thing. He can regain that in future years.
