Prospect Info: Bedard Topic 2

[GIADF]

To go from a 27 goal pace to 23 goal pace with roster improvement is disappointing anyway you slice it.

Adam Gaudette literally has as many goals as Bedard which is kind of depressing to think about. While being in a 16 way tie for the 102nd place in goals scored.

A 27 goal pace last year, isn't close? Lol

If he didn’t get injured do you really think he keeps that pace up as an 18 year old rookie?

I don’t.

He definitely would have faded and probably pretty hard. As he should have, 18 year olds aren’t built to play 82 NHL games.

I'm not even going to argue this

Well considering you’re wrong I probably wouldn’t either.

How about move him to wing with Nazar as his center? What did Bedard do on his break? He has been non factor after that.

You know, I compared him to Kane after he was drafted, and never considered him to be of the Crosby/McDavid level. I guess I'm just disappointed that he hasn't scored more goals. I thought he was a lock for 30 as a rookie, and he hasn't come close to scoring 30 in his first two seasons.

My God man, he literally has no one to get him the puck. He is surrounded with no talent.

You have a weird way of s'ing tfu.

Right now Bedard is a winger, not a center. Should be playing wing. Also, currently Nazar is a better player, up and down the ice.

Also, his shot is the same “pull it in and shoot” every time. Have to believe that every goalie is looking for it, as well as the defender. Would be nice to see him just fling it without the pull drag move every time he shoots. Highly predictable. Mix it up a bit. Haven’t seen that though.

He's putting up the same type of #'s as Patrick Kane(Hawks legend, all-time elite HOF player) at the same age on a far worse team.

Knowing this.....unless you're worried that he's not going to be as good as Gretzky/Mario/McDavid/Crosby("generational" level)....then what is there to worry about? Visible frustration? Really?

IMO it comes off like some of you just want to make stuff up to be worried about. He's been much better since earlier in the season and is coming along just fine in general. Wondering nonsense like "well what if he's like Svech and never cracks 70 pts" gets you nowhere. Its silly.

90% or more of the frustration I see from him is from him not getting a lot of calls when he should and getting penalties called on him when they are soft as warm butter.
