"By the end of his first season in Sudbury (2018-19), he was already pretty dominant and was no longer a first-year player; you could tell he was one of the better players in the OHL. Because of his size and his mobility, he makes it so tough to be contained. I don't like comparing players, but there is a lot of similarity to (Pittsburgh Penguins center) Evgeni Malkin. I think Byfield is going to get a little bit thicker and stronger, but he's already a powerhouse. When he decides he wants to beat you with power, he can, and the next time you think he's just going to bowl over you, and he dangles you and beats you a different way. That combination is rare for a player, especially with that size. He also thinks the game so well. I don't think he gets as much credit for how much of a playmaker he is, and that will help him as he gets to the next level as well."

 

"It's more or less a toss-up, in my opinion, but if you would force me to decide, I'd go Stuetzle. There are reasons for both players, but the reasons for Stuetzle are, in my view, because he's the better skater, and quicker and more mobile than Byfield. He's also more creative. I also like Byfield's skating and I witnessed some creative plays in his game, but to me Stuetzle is even better in these two departments."

"It's a tight one, and they're right beside each other for me. I think at this point I give the edge to Stuetzle because I think he's more dynamic. An unknown with Byfield is what's going to come out of that big frame and power that he has. If he's a home run, he's a big home run. Stuetzle is so dynamic and has a lot of confidence for a young kid."
