As with many prospects, there is some skepticism from the Senators’ fan base on drafting Byfield, and it is linked to Logan Brown.
The 2016 first-rounder has tested everyone’s patience as he keeps falling to injuries season after season, and most people link it to his size.
The problem with Brown is that he is not a very fast skater. He has always relied on his hands and vision to get the job done, which has led to struggles at the NHL level. Byfield, on the other hand, is a playmaking machine who has very quick feet for his size.
