Bedard, Michkov, or Celebrini: Who would you build around?

[Fraser28]

Celebrini has been better than Bedard this year, not question.... through 14 games.

Celebrini has been nowhere near as good as Michkov this year.

Bedard's rookie year was better than both so far.

Are you blind?

The one where Celebrini being a 200ft player is a myth, proven by advanced stats. Also the one where Michkov is extremely unlucky 5v5 and should have 6 more points than he does and Celebrini extremely lucky and 3 over his expected.

There will never be a season where Celebrini scores more points than Michkov, the skill level is very noticable, Michkov already established dominance head to head on the scoreboard and physically as well.

Michkov is force to play defense on a bottom 6 role most of the season, Celebrini has been force fed top line minutes with Sharks best players.

Celebrini is the clear 3rd place finisher here and recency bias is hilarious



Michkov
Bedard

Celebrini


This chart is cute AF based around 14 games.

By seasons end he will not have had as good a season as Bedard's rookie season.

This bottom 6 role bullshit just has to stop as anyone can go and look up the actual stats FFS.

Guy plays a ton on the PP and 3 on 3 as well

So you think Kucherov or Draisaitl or McDavid or any of the best forwards in the NHL are viewed the way they are because of their defense? Or it’s because they score more than 100+ points every year?

What a quality post

Bedard was beyond bad last year without the puck, he’s about million miles away from being in the same conversation and having the same impact to the game as Kucherov/McDavid/Drai

You don’t have to be elite but the coach atleast has to be able to play you and not be completely caved in

So that + 22 goals doesn’t make his rookie season generational

Funny that the guy you are quoting has said multiple times that Bedard isn't generational eh?

Celebrini for me. Really impressive start from him. His skillset are insane!

I like his complete game more than Bedard and Michkov.
