Yup. Another half year to grow and put some meat on his bones - and play at the World Juniors! If he gets hurt, they'll wish they'd given him more time. Chicago's not going anywhere (playoff wise) so what do they have to lose?
I didn't see it, either. He was fine but, again, he could use a little more time at a lower level.
Have been since the start. I'm just not coming in with an agenda, which helps.
He was fine. Nothing great but he didn't look out of place by the end of the game. He needs some work... and some weight.
I agree.
It's still early in the season I know... But maybe the kid just isn't ready for the NHL yet? With the media hounding him, the pressure of being considered the next "great one", f*** I wouldn't be able to handle that shit. Maybe having him in the minors for another year or two to develop a bit wouldn't have been a bad idea. The kid is only 18. At 18 I was complete f***tard who had no idea what I wanted to do. Not much has changed... but I'd like to think I have a bit of a better head on my shoulders now. I actually feel really bad for Bedard, and I hope we don't ruin him.
He looked pretty ready. Yeah, he is going to get physically bullied this year, but he still looks like he will rack up the points. He will learn a lot more getting a year of NHL experience then he would sleep walking through another junior season.
Ok, let's keep the silly reddit memes on reddit lol.
