Or I am just bored and enjoy discussing hockey?
I feel like this discussion is pretty relevant too considering we've now all gotten to see what these guys looked like in camp and against something similar to NHL competition.
I know people probably hate that I am posting so much on the subject and yes I probably repeat myself a lot, but again this is a discussion board, it's what it's for, no?
And no, it's not personal, but there's a couple of key guys every draft that I zoom in on and become quite passionate about one way or the other, whether it's me supporting them believing they're underrated, or vice versa. Byram, along with Podkolzin and Cozens are three guys I believe were overhyped (and I've watched a ton of footage on all three, so it's not like it's unfounded or just some irrational dislike for them) in the 2019 draft, so naturally I will post a lot on those guys.
Here is where we disagree. I have never understood where this idea that he's good defensively comes from. The game tape doesn't support that notion. And I call him a 4th forward because that is literally how he plays, in every zone and even including the power play (where he is stationed not as the QB but on the half-wall). That's a big part of the reason why he put up so many points. He's not a complete player by any means. He excels offensively, but there's many other prospects who are way better than him in other aspects of the game.
