Prospect Info: Bedard Topic 2

[CallMeShaft]

Brayden Point was definitely not a burner when he was drafted. A big reason he was drafted where he was. Not sure why were comparing him now to a 19yo Bedard.

Maybe I'm remembering wrong, possibly getting him and Kucherov mixed up, I don't know.

Either way, plenty of kids improve their skating, so my point remains (whether or not it involves Point).

Bedard's top speed is only slightly better than Strome's, not to mention the size difference.

Now go check Bedards last year top speed!!

Those skating metrics mean less than nothing. Lol. Holy shit. Bedard's game has never been a speed game or burning guys off of the rush. He's a cerebral player. He literally slows the game down. It's not his fault he plays with guys who aren't on his level.
