Preseason bold prediction: Quinton Byfield will become the Kings’ best player
Pass, fail or incomplete? Pass
This might be debatable at this stage — top goal scorer and point producer Adrian Kempe could make a legitimate case as the guy for the Kings through the entire season — but there is mounting evidence that Byfield is at the top right now. His 19 goals and 44 points through 71 games might seem modest, but 10 of those goals and 23 of those points have come over the last 26 contests. With a six-game goal-scoring streak thrown in, Byfield has scored eight times over his last 12 games. The 22-year-old has never been more confident as a player, and his leap during the last two months could be what turns the tide for Los Angeles in a playoff series. — Eric Stephens
