Don't get me wrong, if the Flames won the 1st puck and took Byfield, I'd be pumped. Grabbing a top rated Center would be something not been done since Monahan. I don't even know why I wouldn't take Byfield over Lafrenierre honestly. I know Lafrenierre has Clutch vibes all around him.
Plus, it'd make a Johnny trade a very easy pill to swallow knowing you got the concensus #1 pick to replace him with.
Honestly I've spent so much time brushing up on players in the Flames realistic range I never really thought about the Byfields or Stutzles or Lafrenierres.
