Prospect Info: Bedard Topic 2

[ello]

Agreed. Save any judgement about Luke until he has a real team.

You can’t assess the results yet, but absolutely you can question his lack of ability to adapt on the fly and how long it takes for him to make adjustments.

I know technically it’s in the hands of the video staff but man offside calls are pretty easy to make and a wrong one can make or break a game. Being 0/2 is just unacceptable

To be fair on last night's offside challenge they've been a bit inconsistent about that particular case where a guy precedes the puck into the zone and doesn't have it on his stick but arguably has possession- IIRC last playoffs (or maybe 2022?) they overturned a goal on that and I couldn't believe it

 

[Space umpire]

It was a handshake thing not something written in ink.

You have a link to that of course.

True but like 98, 55 or any other young player on the roster, Luke is developing as a coach.

Of course I don't I'm speculating on speculation.

Love to see it.

Kid is so much more than just a great shot.

 

[swerdnase]

And I'll point out again, this is probably the worst version of Connor Bedard we will see (not counting the end of his career). He's only gonna get better!

Bedard on pace for 48 goals and he's had to create damn near all of them on his own, very few setup by teammates.

Bedard would've had 10 if it wasn't for Athanasiou barely offside call. I think he would've either had the record or tied Laine.

Laine and four hall of famers

I only count three hofers, unless you’re putting Bedard in there already.

It just makes me feel good reading how shooting coaches talk about this kid.

In the contract negotiations I told my agent I'm not going to sign any deal unless I'm getting an opportunity on the power play........ ... ....... and so then the next day I was on the power play.

Really pleasant surprise that we found Bedard's running mate in house with Kurashev, especially with Hall out for the year. Still wouldn't mind picking up a legit middle six NHL foward/cap dump at some point during the season to provide him with a little more support (obvious would not move assets out to acquire this guy). Reichel is too wildly inconsistent still and the kid line tends to get caved in.

They got caved in badly last game but were way above water in possession and north of 60% xG% in their first two games together. It's also the only combo that has seemed to get Reichel going at all. I think they should get some more run as a line unless they have a few more faceplants like the Leafs game

 

[Giovi]

This kid is just golden

So how soon before we see Taylor Swift (and I guess Travis Kelce) at a Hawks game to watch Bedard?

Good chance not until the NFL season is over, so sometime next year. Unless they catch a game in St. Louis with the Hawks in town. Yes, I'm being serious, it probably happens at some point.
