The NHL Draft is in Vancouver this year. Bowen Byram plays for the Vancouver Giants of the Western Hockey League. Isn’t it just destiny that the Vancouver Canucks select Byram with their first-round pick?
When it comes to defencemen available in this year’s draft, Byram is in a league of his own. Byram has tallied 26 goals and 45 assists so far this year for the Giants — which is nothing short of remarkable for a defenceman — especially one who is just 17 years old.
Byram is an elite skater with excellent poise and superior puck control.
