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

Hockey PDO podcast did a mock draft a while back and they talked a lot about Lafreniere being the better player right now, but he might not be 5 years down the road.
The Flames haven’t had a legitimate 1C since Niewendyk. If they’re fortunate enough to grab one, I would think long and hard about it
