Cam Barker had eerily similar stats in the WHL.

Interesting...are we taking his report as gospel or just hearsay? I'm taking it as hearsay, since even if some of the Hawks scouts dislike Byram, if Stan likes him, then they are drafting him. If Stan think he's collected the best group of defensemen prospects ever, like the sycophantic media keeps saying, than it wouldn't matter if the scouts think Byram is the second coming of Bobby Orr, right? I hope Stan doesn't think he's upgraded the D enough with just Olli.

Byram's game is offense.
Highest scoring d-men in the WHL in the last 20 years:
1. Ian White 79p 2001-02 2. Ty Smith 73p 2017-18 3. Bowen Byram 71p 2018-19 4. Cam Barker 65p 2003-04 5. Calen Addison 64p 2017-18
Bowen Barker.

Cam Barker had eerily similar stats in the WHL. But Byram can skate in the new NHL.

Byram was over a PPG this season. Barker never was. He could be a bust or a stud. The draft is a crapshoot. See Yakupov, Nail.

He could be a steal around 10th overall. Byram had a great playoff run, but sometimes d-men get stuck in their development. Nobody knows, maybe Cozens will become a franchise center and taking a #2/#3 d-man ahead of him will be laughed at.

To be fair to Yak, Edmonton is a death sentence for most young players. You need to be drafted into the right situation to have a good chance of success.
