I get he’s younger, but I haven’t seen one publication rate him at number 1. I’m not an expert on either player, but Lafrinerre looked like a star at the WJHC while Byfield was forgettable.
If we were to win I wouldn’t overthink it

For comparison sake, I believe I heard Lafreniere played like 10 minutes a game the year before and had 1 goal in 5 games, which is effectively where Byfield was from an age perspective at these past WJC.
Byfield also plays centre, which is the most important position in the game.
