Don't tell me what to do.
Why we need another Logan Brown in Byfield? Stutzel should be better then Lafreniere. Why would not have a player better then Lafreniere?
With Dorion, whose draft record is absolutely dismal, he will take Byfield after LA will take Stutzel.
Stutzel is the best skater of the draft, the best hockey IQ, the best hands, the best play maker...........none of this Byfield has. Only size.
I thought Byfield was a very good skater? Is he injury prone?Why we need another Logan Brown in Byfield? Stutzel should be better then Lafreniere. Why would not have a player better then Lafreniere?

Not a chance Byfield ever sees AHL ice. You’re wrong on your evaluationsByfield has an above average straight forward speed and that's about it. Byfield is very raw as Logan Brown and it will take years to develop him, starting in juniors, where he will stay and 2 years in AHL. I am not sure why to draft a guy in top five, if you need to develop him, especially his defensive game. Stutzel is NHL ready and will step right in to make Sens better instantly, to bring back the fans.
I voted Byfield by a hair. Either player will become the best prospect in the system and be an NHL player in a year or so.
It will be very interesting and suspenseful to see who Detroit takes at #4.
It will but Byfield and Stutzle very likely go 2/3
From the sounds of who? Sounds like they really like PerfettiLA has already said it's between two players - not surprising who those two players are.
Detroit is probably taking Drysdale or Raymond from the sounds of it.
I like Byfield better, 6'4 gives him a ton of advantages even if he wont use all of them. One of the downsides for being so big is you are usually slower but his skating is also another asset. Factor in his age being nearly a year younger than AL, and about 7 months younger than Tim Stutzle there is a lot of development ahead in the next year for him especially with a NHL team directing it after he is drafted. World Juniors was a let down for sure, but it was also a very small size and shouldn't be the only thing you are looking at when deciding the future of this team. If you put a gun to my head and asked me what I see Byfield being in the NHL, I will say its Evgeni Malkin, but with a better defensive game.
Tim Stutzle is also going to be an amazing player will be the most skilled player in our system and is more NHL ready to just step in as he is used to playing against men, and I wouldn't be mad at all if he becomes an Ottawa senator.
I am so happy one of these guys will be an Ottawa Senator, now don't f*** this up Dorion and pick someone else when one of them is available at 3.
You had me up until here. Not sure if you're seriously underrating Malkin or if you think Byfield is going to be the best player in the NHL.
As silly as it sounds, as someone who likes Byfield and Stutzle equally, I almost prefer picking #3 over #2. If we drafted second, anytime the player we didn't pick did anything at all, fans on this board would be ripping Dorian for making the wrong choice and probably run the draftee out of town. By picking third, I think everyones going to agree on who we should take in that spot.
