As I've pointed out, Byfield has a better ppg than anyone in the last decade except McDavid, Lafrenniere, and Rossi in Major Junior. (I may have forgotten a name) His PPG is better than MacKinnon's, who had more talent to work with,and as is pointed out above, he's one of the youngest in his draft class. True, you never know how a prospect will turn out, but Byfield is as blue-chip as anyone.
