Bedard rookie predictions

[Goose]

I just want to see a 5-goal debut to build off Matthews.

 

[Anemia]

2g 4a 212pim.

The goon no one saw coming.

 

[Sun God Nika]

34g 40A on 82 games

 

[Ciao]

I'll reserve judgment on Bedard. He's a real wild card.

A great junior, and now a boy among men. How will that work out? Really, we just don't know.

I'm hoping he will be Gretzky 2.0

 

[Altimus]

31 goals, 38 assists, just short of 80 points.

 

[Frank Drebin]

44
44
88

 

[Offtheboard412]

I think he can do 45g-55a-100pts. If scoring stays the same that would put him right around 10th in scoring.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

He will win the Art Ross next year.

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

~50 points. The hype is unreal at this point. People need to slow down for the kids own good imo

 

[The don godfather]

Shocker 48 points. Hf boards blows up.

 

[Hextallent63]

If he scores 150 pts does that put him in the discussion for the best ever? Just kidding. Id put up 27-32 goals, 38-45 assists. 73 ou? im going under.

 

[Dr Aidonis Bison]

24g 39a

 

[MikeyMike01]

60 points, and numerous threads calling him a bust

 

[CookiesAndMilk]

It'll be fun to look back on this thread once the next season is over.

My prediction is somewhere between 40 and 60 points. I do really hope that someone gets the numbers correctly.

 

[CookiesAndMilk]

He will score more points as a rookie compared to 18 year olds Crosby and McDavid.

Rookie McDavid only played 45 games due to an injury. He had 48 points in those games.

 

[holy]

107 points.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

First rookie since Crosby/Ovi to cross the 100 point barrier.

50 goals, 100 points. He’s that good

 

[PeoriaBlues309]

46 goals 12 assists

 

[Tanknation]

15 goals
22 assits
=37 points

+/-=-27

 

[Kurtosis]

15 goals
22 assits
=37 points

+/-=-27

Seems a tad bit too high on the points for an 82 game projection.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

I think big factor is in what position he will play; center or winger.
- also, how much ice time he will get, will he get top 6 ice time, or bottom 6 ice time

His height, age, lack of pro league experience, those must be taken into consideration
when predicting these things.

He is 18, he is coming straight from the WHL, he is 5 foot 9 center.
Players, goalies are so much better in the NHL what in the juniors.
Players play harder, play better defense and are more physical.

He isn't Connor McDavid, nor does he have his speed, nor physical attributes
He is not Sidney Crosby either.

Yes, the scoring is up, way up even but.. recent years, several years now
has shown how difficult it is to play in the NHL as an 18 year old rookie,
even if you are physically ready, or even with pro league experience.

Even rookies in their early 20's struggle.

---

I will be happily surprised for 80 point season. - i doubt that will happen but yeah

 

[Dust]

I think 70-80 points. He will have an adjustment period, and then I think 2nd half of the season he really looks great.

 

[Gold Standard]

I'd be thrilled with a 30+30 rookie season given with what he has to work with on that team.

Looking forward to the World Hockey Championship in May where he will light it up once again wearing the beautiful Maple Leaf.

30g 25 a

 

[PuckG]

80 points (40+40). Elite, but not generational.
