Regressing to the mean since 2015, it's the Hockey PEDEOCast with your host, Dmitri

Filipovich.

Welcome to the Hockey PEDEO cast. My name is Ditra Filipovich and joining me for what's becoming a weekly staple here on the show.

It's my good buddy, Gerald Belford. Daryl, what's going on in?

Excited to be back. Another guy that is a really interesting player to discuss. So we'll see how we do.

Yes. This is becoming a weekly project for us

we pick a player that's caught our eye we diligently sift through their tape this season and then we

get on here for 50 minutes we break down what we're seeing why it's working what we like uh all that good

stuff our muse this week is quentin byfield and i think it's working, what we like, all that good stuff.

Our muse this week is Quentin Byfield.

And I think it's safe to say it's only 14 games to start the season, certainly a long road ahead.

But it feels like he's finally arrived.

He's living up to everything we expected from him when he was a top prospect and went second overall the 2020 draft and

it's been beautiful to see yeah the interesting part about this guy is i think he's a study of

skating like when you really watch what he does and like particularly this year a lot of what he's doing

so well is rooted in outstanding use of his skating um and i and i think that that hasn't

necessarily always been the case for him because like he's always had that

like high athletic agility stop on a dime turn on a dime great hands all that sort of stuff

he's he's had that he hasn't looked the prettiest through the neutral zone

um in from certainly from his like pre-draft time and then into his first couple of years and i was always

curious of whether pace through the neutral zone was going to be something that would hold him back.

And you watch him now.
