When Canada beat 16-0 Latvia during the 2010 World Junior Championship, Taylor Hall had no goals. Gabriel Bourque had three.

I'm not too concerned about a prospect's game in a blowout. Once the score becomes meaningless, the performance, for the most part, does, too.
I get wanting to get more out of a prospect like Byfield, but there's reason why the WJC is just a tool and not am accurate representation of a prospect.
He had just 11 minutes of ice time. Why he didn't get more, I don't know. But Tourigny praised QB often during camp. He likes him, or at least made a point of mentioning it.

I, for one, liked his play in the neutral zone/own zone to help stop chances.

It's fine to criticize his play at points, but if the argument is why he didn't get more points in a 16-2 game in a line that played a solid defensive game... Seems like a stretch one game in.
