Fantasy Analysis
O'Byrne had one goal, six assists and a plus-7 rating in 33 games as a rookie in 2007-08. He also had 45 penalty minutes while averaging 13:23 of ice time. O'Byrne is likely to open the season as a lower-line defenseman for Montreal, but should only be owned in the deepest of Fantasy leagues. (Updated 07/18/2008).
