Strong right handed skating defensemen. I am a huge Adam Fantilli fan, in general. However, I'll take interesting defensemen/skaters.

I don't see Pat's explosive skating though.

I think Bedard's got that type of skating ability. He's a PEP kid and looks more like Pat Kane because he likes to slow the play down. He's shifty on his skates.

I made the comparison because Bedard isn't a passing center. He's more of the dual threat, moving the puck where it needs to be. Sometimes it's a pass, sometimes it's a shot. Lafontaine was like that, similar size, both go to the net.

I will give Bedard credit for his compete level which for Pat was also top notch. Pat played the game like a human cannon ball. Something was going in the net - the puck, him, the goalie, a defenseman... someone. Bedard has some anger in his game but so far it seems like he channels it into that shot.

His shot is ridiculous. Power, speed, accuracy - he is a threat nearly every time the puck comes off his blade. He's going to score a lot of NHL goals.

I think it’ll be really hard to find someone now who played with Lafontaine’s intensity where it channels directly into play. McDavid is intense but he channels it into trying to score.

Oliver Bonk Breaks Out in London

The 2023 NHL draft prospect spent last season marinating in Jr. B and now he's putting up great numbers for the OHL's Knights.
thehockeynews.com thehockeynews.com

As of now: THN predicts him to go in the second round, with a chance to move up into the 1st. Which is what I’ve been saying. So if he’s available with the earliest second rounder, you draft him.

Comparison?
 
Simashev? I've seen every video that I think is available to be seen on him. Seems like he is Novikov to the 3rd power, really like his skating and decision making, of course he is sheltered and is playing a safe and steady game. I want RHD like everybody else but I'm wondering if he is in the conversation for maybe the 3rd of 4th defenseman off the board.

Oh look. Oliver Bonk and Andrew Gibson. Two people I said the Sabres should target in the second.

NHL Draft Craig's List Craig Button Will Smith | TSN

While this year’s U.S. National Team Development Program squad doesn’t have an individual prospect at the level of a Jack Hughes or an Auston Matthews headlining its class, centre Will Smith is making plenty of noise.

Button has Bonk as 31, Stramel as 33 (seems low to me), and Reidenbacher not in the top 64 (confusingly). Or I just am blind, which is also a possibility.
