Bedard rookie predictions

[Rabid Ranger]

how is this kid generational if most of you think he's not even going to put up 60 in his rookie year?

I say he pushes larmers rookie hawks record with at least 43 goals
and he'll either be even or below with assists
45G 40A

....because he's not, but that's sacrilege around here it would seem.

 

[LMFAO]

85 pts

Before your post, 21 people said at least 60 points and 6 people said below that. I'm not counting the obvious silly replies either.

6 of 27 is not 'most'

People are acting like he's Matty Beniers or something. I get tempering expectations but geez

Berniers was on a deep team, Chicago is the polar opposite. He may be a goal scorer but he'll still need others to draw attention away from him to give him space.

That being said I still think he's somewhere in the 60-80+ range. It really just depends on how the team performs. If the Hawks have a good season, it won't be SOLELY because of Bedard but the group as a whole.

I am really curious to see what Bedard does. I think around 60 points. If Chicago had a better PP, I would go higher.

Beniers had better teammates but Bedard is a much better prospect, I don't see him producing on the same level. Crosby outscored his closest teammate by 50 points nearly (Ovi did too). I don't think Bedard will do the same but if he's the same calibre of a player, he should be around 90 imo. I don't expect the Hawks to have a good season but I do think Bedard will do well.

 

[KevinRedkey]

If he is as good as McDavid, which he has been hyped to be, he should score at an 85-90 point pace.

I haven't seen many people say he's actually going to be as good as McDavid.

 

[Shaman464]

I think he gives Shohei Ohtani a run for his money so:

3.30 ERA
200 Ks
15 Ws

Batting line:

.285/.355/.585 30 HRs, 30 SBs 95 RBIs

The Blackhawks will be the best baseball team in Chicago, but still the second best hockey team.

 

[Video Nasty]

If he plays 80-82 games, I’m expecting 50 goals and 105-110 points.

 

[Asinine]

22+35
I think he will need a year to adjust to playing against men but will be spoonfed a shit ton of PP time.

He’s gonna be better.

I predict 120 points. He scorches the earth, pillages all the villages.

 

[Javaman]

I put the over/under at 70 points.

He's probably going to be the best forward on the roster, unless Hall has another Hart-worthy performance in him.

Players in Bedard's situation tend to get points, one way or another.

This isn't the "Colorado gets a steal and signs Jonathan Drouin" thread, bro.


Bedard gets like 20-40 in 82.

Just went up to 130. Bedard reads your doubt and feasts upon it.

Drouin laughs and easily climbs his production over Bedard to 150.

 

[Tryamkin]

28 goals, 33 assists -> 61 pts. Misses a good ten games due to injury.

 

[TheAngryHank]

30G 40A 74P

 

[jaysoneil]

You think the rest of the Chicago team will score 50 goals?

We got former Mr 50 Goal Scorer Perry on our team now, buck-o.

Watch yo mouth.

 

[MessierII]

Assuming 82 games I’ll say 37 goals and 31 assists for 68 points.

 

[stevo61]

I think he can hit 70 even on a terrible team

 

[super6646]

30G 40A - 70 pts

 

[Terry Yake]

61G-83A

144 pts

 

[ijuka]

About 110 or 120 points, give or take

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

25-30-55 would be a pretty good rookie year.

Yes, the kid is generational or near generational, but we really do expect way too much from teenagers entering the league.

I could see him getting a respectable 60pts rookie season on that dreadful Hawks roster.

I could also see him struggling immensely in his rookie season and then slowly but surely improving over the next 2-3 years, kinda like Jack Hughes. He didn’t even look like an NHL forward in his rookie season but 2-3 seasons later and now he’s arrived and is only getting better and stronger. He will need time to grow into his already small but thicc stature into a stronger NHL frame for his size.
