Last year he gets injured 2 games in and i personaly think that he could have been the spark plug again in Hartley's system. He will be a call up player this year, but instead of being first choice he is probably 2-3rd choice.
Not sure how Bouma's injury is going? He probably would have made the team last year, if not would have played a bunch of games as a call-up. He is going to have to be fully healed, and not miss a beat, to make it this year.

So much of making the NHL depends on timing, opportunity and confidence. Byron, Bouma and many previous prospects (now considered busts) missed their best chances to shine. Now it's a much harder road.
