Bedard. Check back in 3 years

Celebrini. Check back in 3 years

It's hfboards, people will check back in 3 games to make conclusions.

Not in a world where he can only play a maximum of 70 games this season. Even his current stats don’t project to 30 and 75 over the course of a full 82.

On a side note, anyone know what the worst plus/minus is for any notable talent to start their career? Bedard is currently -64 though 115 games. Feels like it has to be among the worst ever.

I know Ristolainen was -53 after 2 seasons with the terrible Sabres teams.

There's a lot of recency bias here. Bedard hasn't quite been as good as he may have been this season but what he did last year with an awful team was unreal. He was not far off a ppg and Jason Dickinson was the only other player to have 20 goals.

This year is a learning curve and I'm sure he's still going to be a star.

Crazy that if you did this poll before either played a game in the NHL (ignoring they are different draft years) Bedard would have probably won in a landslide.

Just here to hype Celebrini’s celerebral play- dude is smart as shit at hockey. Like, you just see him finding the gaps in the defense he wouldn’t have seen game 1. Incredible vision and compete, dude is a gamer through and through.

Blackhawks should trade Bedard sooner rather than later, but they won’t. They’re ruining any chance he had of being special by puttin him out there on a gongshow squad, and he’s not quite good enough to do it all solo. Celebrini has a supporting cast and they’re all developing together, Bedard is on an island with scant supplies to build a raft.

Hard to choose.....if only they were on the same team so we could see them against the same competition with the same supporting teammates.....I know, send them both to the Canucks and we can observe them in action for a decade or so....

This is evident by the fact that the Sharks just traded their leading scorer.
