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 |
