Bedard is a winger in the Kane/Gaudreau/Panarin mold. He isn't a C and is just too small/weak/soft/perimeter/bad at faceoffs to play that position.

But he's been hyped as a FRANCHICE CENTER and the NEXT MCDAVID/CROSBY so they're going to just keep hammering a square peg into a round hole because to do otherwise would be admitting failure.

To be fair, he played wing last game.

Bedard is really the first of the prospects upfront. With vlasic as the first on the backend. Going to have to endure most of the losing until the other pieces develop.
TT, Hall, Bertuzzi are not what they once were.

Not unlike guys like Larkin in Det. Bo here. Zegras in Ana. Takes its toll mentally over time.

Chicago is a desirable city, so they shouldn't have too much trouble attracting support for Bedard and Co as they age. Unfortunately their targets to date have been a pretty big flop.
