Prospect Info: Bedard Topic 2

[TLEH]

The only part of Biz's criticism that was off-base to me was the dramatic tenor of it. The plays themselves- yeah he needs to clean some stuff up off-puck. But it's not as if cleaning up those details is the difference between this team being a bottom feeder and playing winning hockey. Just isn't true at this stage.

This team isn't winning anything regardless I agree. Its not the difference between winning and not. But if/when this team is good, those plays are not playing winning hockey. Just something to monitor.

Yeah agreed. And the job of analysts is to point these things out. I don't have a problem with that part of it at all

Something is going on here - all of these old players (Roenick, Messier, Carter, Bissonette etc) are breaking his balls over stupid reasons. Did he turn down interviews or to be part of a team like the 4 nations? I feel like I'm watching the male version of The View.

Just a bandwagon effect

What's funny is that Bedard is overperforming against his expected goals while Burt Macklin is underperforming.

I think Bedard is often gonna be like Kane and always overpreform expected goals unless he just starts firing shots off at a higher rate

I hope they give Bedard an 8 year $12m deal. Lock him up "cheap" like MacKinnon during his prime and then when he's 29 he'll be up for his next deal. The cap is going to rise a ton and I really don't want to have to play the Auston Matthews contract game with Bedard every 4 years. I'd honestly be very annoyed at that as I think much less of players who are clearly only here for the $$$.
