From Tim Sassone in the Daily Herald,
“Power forwards are tough to find, and I think [Dustin Byfuglien] fits that position,” Savard said Wednesday. “Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think I am. I think I’ve got a pretty good eye on hockey players and really strongly feel he’s going to become a good power forward in this league.
“We’re still tweaking with him. We know he can play defense, but I believe he’s going to be a strong power forward in this league. He’s had some good games on defense, too. I’m not saying we’ll never use him there again, but for now he fits up front, and we’ll evaluate everything as we go on.”

I watched him play in the WHL in Prince George. He looked big, slow and lazy. Leaning on the boards in warmup etc.
Then all of a sudden he had three goals.
He kind of flew below the radar. He isn’t flashy then all of a sudden a big hit or a goal. He sees the ice really well too.
He actually ended up in PG because the previous WHL team thought he was not committed… I think it was Medicine Hat…
I made a grand off him betting he would make the big show for at least 5 games, so anything now is just gravy.
