Right now Byers is ready to be a 4th line NHL player, with 3rd line upside. No one else on that list is close.
Right now I feel Werek projects as a solid 3rd liner.
Next year that may be different, Werek may blow up or just continue with steady improvement. Byers is ready for the show now.
I mentioned in the Werek draft thread that this kid reminds me of Graves, same game at this age, do all the little things, winners etc. etc. Gravey and Werek had nearly identical rookie numbers in the O. I like the kid alot, but Byers is a NHL player now.
JMHO.
Lets go Rangers!
EDIT: Gravey blew up for 100+ in his 2nd year, not saying Werek does that but...
