[Machiavelli]

Asked what he expects from the five-foot-seven, 153-pound forward, Hartley said: “Energy, energy. When you’re a small player . . . whatever your size is on paper, especially to play in this conference, you need to play a bigger size on the ice. I think Paul Byron can bring this to our hockey club. He’s been very good in Abbotsford, so he deserves it.”

If Byron goes into the lineup, it’s likely that Sven Baertschi comes out. The Swiss forward and defenceman Chris Breen skated this morning long after everyone had left the ice — a telltale sign that they’ve been excused from the night’s action.
