Following up on his seven-point WJC performance, Sirius XM NHL Network Radio offered insight on where LA Kings Quinton Byfield goes from here.
While a seven-game sample generally doesn’t offer much in terms of an NHL prospect’s future, the expectations that come with being a high draft pick can be overbearing. The LA Kings took Sudbury’s Quinton Byfield with the second overall pick last year’s draft, adding another talented forward to the prospect pool.
Byfield was a non-factor at last year’s World Juniors during Team Canada’s gold medal run, but he was also one of the tournament’s youngest players.
