Plays a far more valuable position and is almost a full year younger than Lafreniere. He put up nearly 2ppg this year vs Lafreniere's well over 2ppg but who's to say next season he wouldn't put up the same points as Laf at the same age?
If I was on the clock it wouldn't be an automatic Lafreniere pick, at least.

The reflection I keep seeing on Byfield is that consistency could be an issue. That has never been an issue with Laf, and given his eye popping production this season I think it has secured him as the first pick. Byfield would be #1 without the consistency question, no doubt in my mind.
