Bedard VS Celebrini

[Danarqhy]

Bedard was supposed to be generational, and was more hyped than Celebrini, but Macklin is having one hell of a rookie season so far and looks like the real deal in all 3 zones.

Simple question: Who is the better player going forward, Connor Bedard or Macklin Celebrini?

To me this boils down to would you rather have a centre version of Kucherov or a Mackinnon. Will be plenty of discussion about which is better, and that discussion will probably be on which of two is the best player in the world. I went Bedard here, I feel like he retires with the bigger trophy case when both of their careers are done.

Crazy that Canada is about to have 5 consecutive drafts of:

McKenna-Celebrin-Bedard
Schaefer-DuPont

Celebrini easily for me

Significantly better two way player and a wash offensively

Bedzy ainec

I'm going with Bedard. He has skills you can't teach. As he gets older he'll become a much more complete player, as all experienced players do.

Hard to say, right now i’m tempted to say Celebrini from the small sample size but it can very well change.

 

[Lemmiwinks]

Celebrini for me, and I wouldn’t have expected saying that when he was drafted. Kid is proving he can do it all.

 

[Shark Finn]

Forget going forward, how about going defence?

 

[Bouboumaster]

Bedard for now but Celebrini is really impressive too

You have to gauge what their post ELC caphits will be. Bedard was labelled a generational prospect and so I could see him getting 11-12 mil per. Celebrini is likely the better 2 way who is already effective at face offs. I see him being at around jack Hughes caphit 8-8.5. I’ll take Celebrini for the mere fact I think he will be 2.5-3 mil per cheaper
