| Bowen Byram | Note | Long, smooth strides, uses his edges really well to cut and glide in the offensive zone and is extremely patient with the puck. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | Video (With Replay) | 1/23/2019 |
| Bowen Byram | Note | Snappy pass out of his zone, right on the tape to the flying Krebs | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | Video (With Replay) | 1/23/2019 |
| Bowen Byram | Note | Eyes are active skating the puck out, and his passes are right choices, right power, highly accurate. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | Video (With Replay) | 1/23/2019 |

| Bowen Byram | Note | Tries to poke the puck away from Clarke, who steps around him a gets a clean look at the net and scores. Byram should have taken the body there. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | Video (With Replay) | 1/23/2019 |

| Bowen Byram | Note | Excellent sequence as he covers his man, gets a takeaway behind his own net, then jumps up and leads the rush, cuts left, fires a shot on net. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | Video (With Replay) | 1/23/2019 |
| Bowen Byram | Note | I get the sense that if there were four forecheckers closing on him, he still wouldn't look flustered or rush the play. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | Video (With Replay) | 1/23/2019 |

| Bowen Byram | Summary | Has the complete tool kit to develop into a force at the NHL level. He has NHL size at 6'1 192 pounds, and his skating is smooth, highly agile and with excellent acceleration and speed. Never hurried, never panicked, gets his team into its best position to convert transitions into offensive pressure. Still needs polishing in his defensive play but not a lot. Looks to be an easy top-ten prospect for the 2019 draft, and could compete for a spot among the second tier after Hughes and Kakko. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game 2019 | Video (With Replay) | 1/23/2019 |

| Bowen Byram | Note | Plants a shoulder into the puck carrier, knocks him off the puck, and when another opposing forward grabs the loose puck and tries to go by him, Byram plants a shoulder into him, too, and knocks him off the puck as well. Serious physical play from the 15-year-old blueliner | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Portland (WHL) | Video (With Replay) | 3/3/2017 |
| Bowen Byram | Note | Good balance, but needs to clean up his backward skating a bit. Fortunately, he has plenty of time to work on that before his draft year. | Brian Fogarty | Kelowna vs Portland (WHL) | Video (With Replay) | 3/3/2017 |
