Bedard/Celebrini…what could have been…

[Voight]

Stop at Yzerman Fedorov and it's a nice list of all Hart winners.

& all of them except Gretzky/Mess won the Hart while playing on the same team. Miss Yzerman too obviously.

 

[LuGBuG]

Yeah yeah. Saying it wouldn't be close is just arrogance. Amazing all the people that can see into the future in this thread

Sid Malkin would be a lot ahead. Let’s use our noggins here.

Stop at Yzerman Fedorov and it's a nice list of all Hart winners.

Or leave out McDavid/Draisaitl and it's a nice list of all cup winners.

 

[BruinLVGA]

Yeah what everyone must be looking forward to is for the league to gift another couple of superstars to the Hawks, so that they can win another 3 or 4 Cups, then turn to crap after that and get some more superstars, rinse and repeat.

They can still adopt.

 

[AzHawk]

Celebrini + Adam Lowry = Celery
Celebrini + Brock Faber = Broccolini
Bedard + Nick Bjugstad = Bedbjugs

What if the Montreal Canadiens had purchased the assets of the Indianapolis Racers?

Imagine that dynastic team but adding Eddie Mio in net.

Ha!
With Ron Chipperfield being the key piece!

Is Peter Driscoll nothing to you?

Ahhh
I just responded about Chipperfield but you're on it faster and more accurately! Driscoll it was!

sid and ovi on a the same team would have been amazing.

I wonder how much timing was involved in the Caps happening to bottom out the last year before the lockout. Two lottery picks but only one season of lottery gate receipts. To say nothing of the two generational prospects at stake

lol they look so shady. Wonder what’s in that bag..

 

[dmcccdmn]

Bedard would be Malkin, and Celebrini would be Sid. But even Malkin and Sid still needed a good team around them. Chicago is truly a terrible team with no helper around Bedard.

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

I was hoping Chicago would get Celebrini too.

The Bed Mack Attack!

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Neither of them will ever be close to Sid and Geno in their primes, its not arrogance lol.

They probably won't but I'm very confident he's good enough to build around and win a Cup with. That's all that really matters for the Sharks.

 

[independent observer]

If either of the Sharks or Hawks would have been lucky enough to land both of them back-to-back…just how strong of a contender would they become and how quickly? How productive and dominant could the duo potentially become in their time together, and which one of SJ/CHI do you think would have the better supporting cast, including future outlook, to help build around them? Lots of interesting questions/possibilities. Could have been one of the best young 1-2 punches the league has ever seen.

One of the best one two punches?

In my view, Bedard has a lot to prove at the NHL level… he is actually a huge disappointment especially this season and not just because of the lack of talent he has to play with. He is a liability when the other team has the puck, he is a below avg skater, weak on faceoffs, doesn‘t hit and block shots, and his shot accuracy and volume also leave a lot to be desired for a guy that has been touted as the best prospect since McDavid. This is not trolling, advanced stats, nhl edge etc all prove this.

The sample on Celebrini is still small but so far he exceeded my expectations and is to me the most impressive player to enter the league since McDavid.

To me, Celebrinis play just translates way better to the NHL then the one of Bedard.

 

[Michoulicious]

Celebrini is insane... He looks like a superstar already.
