Oh boy Byram

If WHL is playing, he has to go back there, no?

For his own personal development. I'd keep him in the NHL. He'll get more 1 on 1 focus and learn each game that he sits. There's unfortunately zero guarantee the AHL is going to keep playing as many games. Otherwise I would agree with you. Byram's talent level is high enough to be more cautious about. Usually I'd say let the chips fall where they fall, but you do need to be a little more cautious sending top 5 picks down to the bruiser league. One man's thoughts.

you are over reacting again, and you dont burn a year of his ELC to put him in the AHL (which he is a 19 year old Junior, he wont be allowed to be in the AHL as soon as the WHL season starts up)

Interesting. I like Byram, but have been surprised whenever Team Canada 2022 is discussed, a lot of SN/TSN guys pump his tires to be the next Drew Doughty style 20 year old to make the team. What are they basing this on if as you say he's having some struggles breaking in so far? Like I think he's going to be really good, even steady top 4 pushing top pair by mid next season if he is developed with care, but what the heck is all this talk of him being ready for something like the Olympics by next year?
