[Dr Danglefest]

Excited to see this kid play

 

[Taluss]

Can’t wait to see what type of player he turns into. Serious potential to be the best in the draft.

Yeah, Lafrenière says no chance.

 

[SI90]

Has a legit shot to be the best player in the draft imo.

 

[bsu]

Yeah, Lafrenière says no chance.

You can't really believe another player has no chance in becoming best player in the draft they haven't even played a single game.

 

[Taluss]

Yeah, Lafrenière says no chance.

There is 100% a chance. Good chance? Meh. Idk if I’d say that. But certainly a chance

 

[Telos]

Yeah, Lafrenière says no chance.

Yeah, Alexander Daigle says there is, at least, a chance.

 

[Masked]

Seems like a good guy from the segments they had on him during the draft. Good for him.

 

[DropTheGloves]

Yeah, Lafrenière says no chance.

I mean, it might be a small chance, but you're talking about a kid with an elite physical toolkit. I would not be surprised in the least if he became the most dominant skater from the 2020 class.

 

[2CHAINZ]

Yeah, Lafrenière says no chance.

Stützle says Auf keinen fall

 

[Ghetty Green]

Yeah, Lafrenière says no chance.

Ranger fans still salty af lol

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

Ranger fans still salty af lol

Why would we be salty? Because of the 2014 finals? Lol

That said, as a Rangers fan, if Byfield absolutely hits his highest ceiling, I think he will be the best player in the draft. That size and potential skill cannot be taught.

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

Sharks fan here,
Also agree that he has 100% chance to become the best skater in this draft.

 

[Bruce Granville]

Not enough term, too much money.

 

[Yog S'loth]

Damn, poor Imama

Gets his uniform number stolen the same day he signs

 

[kilowatt]

Not enough term, too much money.

Blake worst GM confirmed

 

[BonMorrison]

Is he expected to make the opening night roster or nah?

 

[KingsHockey24]

Is he expected to make the opening night roster or nah?

50/50

Call your shot. Over under on him being the best black player ever. Jarome Iginla has to be the place holder unless I'm completely ignorant and forgetting someone. For me he has the tool set to do it but I give it about a 10% chance which is amazing odds regardless. Don't like bringing race into any conversation but I think it's an interesting topic to discuss.

 

[SFKingshomer]

He will be with the Kings of the OHL does not allow contact.

 

[bobholly39]

Stützle says Auf keinen fall

For those wondering - Google translate says that translates into "I agree - Lafreniere is #1"

And yet you brought it in anyway.

Iggy was a beast and will be hard to triumph.

Its possible I guess, but super unlikely. The man in his prime was a goddamn beast. I think Byfield will be very good though.

Yes, this isn't to get a reaction out of anyone. I just think it's an interesting discussion. If it's offending you I'll edit it. No hard feelings man
