Sure was. Also didn't have a bunch of key development time buggered by Covid.Jake Guentzel was also 2 years older.

Byfield is the type of prospect that could bring them a legitimate defender like Seth Jones for RyJo.
When the Jones-Johansen swap happened, Jones was already 2.5 years into playing in a top-4 role for the Predators and Johansen had the same amount of time as a 1C. Byfield really hasn't shown to be an effective NHLer yet.
Also can we not compare Byfield to every other black player ever? Why mention Iginla and Jones as comparables?
Lol they are just the type of deals that Byfield would be in reference too. He’s an insane talent to trade at 20.
I believe his religious beliefs makes it hard for him to say nice things about us coloreds.Byfield is a top ten prospect in the league. He’s not a borderline blue chip prospect as you said earlier.
I mean I agree with this because I fully think Byfield is going to explode in the future. I just don't think you can assign him that value right now because you think he's going to be terrific in the future. I think Arizona wants Byfield because of that upside, but you can't just demand that value of return based on that upside for a player who hasn't really shown it yet.
I'd easily value Byfield at more than what Dach brought back last year (mid 1st and early 3rd). But I also think that plus a late 1st for Chychrun isn't all that unreasonable.
Yeah. I don’t think a lot of these blokes know Byfield and the situation in LA. He’s a talent and not just some ok talent he has serious pedigree. If Coyotes did nab him, they better figure it the f*** out with development because they have botched a lot more than ones they made work. Sucks for QB. Deserves better.Byfield is a 2nd overall draft who has a ton of pedigree.
Moving him is how you give away a player like Iginla.
Nah there are enough question marks in his game that him being a number 1 C is not a guarantee. Which is what blue chip would imply. Top 10 in terms of pedigree and potential and therefor value? Sure I buy it.Byfield is a top ten prospect in the league. He’s not a borderline blue chip prospect as you said earlier.
Mate you better be sitting because I have news for you about Petry and his Dad with his MLB career.I see that Chychrun's dad played in the NHL which means he grew up wealthy. Ew do not want!

But then again…if Byfield is flanked by Keller and Schmaltz as their top C with zero pressure in Arizona, that just might be the right situation.
I think he has some Iginla potentials, but I also see Dawes and Chris Stewart as well in that he may never reach that ceiling when rounding out his game.
Have we considered Kevin Weekes?
Iginla was also a highly touted prospect with physical gifts and offensive tools that was moved for a player Dallas would go on to win a cup with in Nieuwendyk. It was a huge deal and both teams ended up winning the deal.
We don’t have a lot of black stars to cheer for in the NHL so comparing one that has serious pedigree that reminds them of Iginla doesn’t make me mad.
But please, tell me, pigmentally challenged empoleon and Penguin Provorov, how you’re both so bothered by @Gurglesons using that comparison yet I’m not. And you f***ing know I’m not shy to call out shit.
Hell I’d love to get POJ’s brother on the Pens over Heinturd and also adding Byfield. That’d be f***ing awesome for me.
I love his game. He’s a player we need, the motor, aggressive forechecking and he has some decent hands.Been on the Matthieu Joseph train since he was moved for Paul.
I knew his dad played for the Flyers but for some reason this post just reminded me his dad had a stint with the Pens.I see that Chychrun's dad played in the NHL which means he grew up wealthy. Ew do not want!
Arizona could potentially end up with a foundation of Byfield, Cooley and Bedard in addition to Vejmelka and Keller.
If they were a real organization and not a contract dumping ground for the NHL, that would be exciting.
Sounds like somebody needs to send the Pens a 1st rounder for POJ.Then they'd just have to go out and get a stud defenseman to go along with all those forwards. Maybe they can flip one of those forwards for a young D like Chychrun.
The realization dawning that POJ may have top 5 trade value in the entire organization. Good for him! Not a good sign for us.Sounds like somebody needs to send the Pens a 1st rounder for POJ.
