That wasn't the point. He tried to claim Stutzle was the most ready so as to diminish his accomplishment. Lafreniere was far and away the most ready and there are plenty of opinions out there that he was the only one ready (perhaps Rossi).

Well, Kaliyev is supposedly 42 years old, so that might be the difference.
Lafreniere plays the most professional style game, but Stützle's style of play was more conducive to stepping in right away and impressing. Nobody expected Stützle to come in and be a responsible focal point, but he was expected to step in and put up good individual numbers while acclimating to the NHL.
Folks who like to use 100 yard dash numbers to project marathon finishing times don't tend to get much right.
Yeah right. From ESPN:
The Rangers lucked into the No. 1 pick of the 2020 draft -- despite qualifying for the expanded 2020 postseason -- and good on them for not overthinking it. Despite hearing a few offers for the top pick, New York kept it in selecting Alexis Lafreniere, who many experts believe is the only player in this draft ready to make an immediate impact (as in, score somewhere around 60 points as a rookie).
I don't give a shit what articles are pulled, pundits are quoted or what the consensus is among fans. They don't set any expectations for me. I told everyone exactly what I thought was going to happen and its gone just as expected. The threads are still, feel free to look them up.
Do you even read what you post?
"but he was expected to step in and put up good individual numbers while acclimating to the NHL."
You guys act like if we had drafted TS that he wouldn't be on the Ontario Reign right now getting destroyed and Sens fans would be mocking us for gifting them Byfield. Rushing a winger is literally all the Sens have to talk about right now. They are one point ahead of Detroit and have played two more games. Byfield was and still is the right pick.

I'll order you a red cap and a Speedo.
I think the elephant in the room is that you have Stutzle playing up in the bigs but also Zegras is up with The Sucks now full time.
Meanwhile, Byfield and Turcotte are buried in the AHL on a team that is losing nearly every game.
I get it guys. But remember to breathe, click your heels three times and say to yourself...

He's got some of the worst Advanced Stats on the Sens and one of the worst plus minus in the entire NHL. The Sens are getting murdered when he's out on the ice. But they are allowing him to do this thing for better for worse for his development.

5 goals in 2 games by Adrian on Gibson...you love to see it.
You almost saw 7 though.
Uh. This is a Byfield thread. I hope Quinton breaks out with 2 goals this weekend. (Fri / Sat games)

It was an idea. I didn't say it was a good idea.
I thought this was a Stutzle thread?

Mentioned that Byfield will likely stay up and get into 6 games or less, Kaliyev will go back and play in however many games the OHL schedules.

Sudbury basically on lockdown due to a COVID outbreak. Indoor fitness facilities like ice rinks are shut. I can't see how Byfield will return to Sudbury this season, given the conditions. Look for Byfield to stay in SoCal, whether it's as a Reign or a King, for the foreseeable future.
wonder where he will play when called up? Does he just take Amadio's spot on the 4th line or perhaps does he play on a higher line wing.
I think he goes to the wing to lessen his responsibilities and get him better acclimated to the NHL. Maybe on Kopi's LW
As a side note, I think Turcotte gets the same treatment
I think he goes to wing as well. Not sure about on the top line though. If that was the route TM took with rookies I think we would have seen Vilardi there last year.

that's the most likely spot I see him, maybe move carter down to be with him.

Kempe-Vilardi-Frk (assuming he is back)
AA-Byfield-Carter
Missmash of the rest centered by JAD
When JAD comes back Id like to see him with Grundstrom and Moore again. That line was clicking. So much so that I thought Moore and Grundstrom should be protected from Seattle if they kept up that energy.
