Here are his cap hit comparables though, and I'd say Byron is head-and-shoulders the better player than any on this list. http://www.capgeek.com/comparables/?player_id=1166 |
I think Cory Conacher and Adam Cracknell are just as good as Byron, but obviously different qualities. This last year was the first that I really noticed Byron as an NHL quality player, so we need to see if history repeats itself before saying he's that much better than these other guys. I think he's got potential to have a decent, but probably short, NHL career. I would say the same about those other two.
