Mike Morreale of NHL.com: Los Angeles Kings 2020 first-round pick Quinton Byfield won’t be joining the Kings until he’s finished playing for Team Canada at the 2021 World Junior Championships.
“The situation is I’m going to stay and hopefully make the team,” Byfield said Thursday. “That’s the plan I talked about with the Rob Blake, and I think that’s the best option for us. I’ll head over (to the Kings) after I’m done .”
Team Canada training camp has started, with the tournament running from December 25th to January 5th.
