Got to admit, Bedard is kinda lazy defensively. I was disappointed with his defensive play at the World Juniors and I'm noticing again, tonight.

Hat Trick for Bedard.

Anyone figured out how to use this? Not working for me.


Wonder if they trade Bedard? This will almost certainly be his last season. They'd get an incredible haul for him.

Hard to say, as a poster said, they would get a haul, but they would also lose the guy that put's fannies in the seats.

Yup. Keep him until the deadline.

You don't get 12 million dollar contracts based on your back checking abilities though.

Lmaoooooo. Guess you can’t please everyone

No but what JJ is saying is true. People come to see the kid. He's a money maker. How do you balance that with what you could get in return?

It's not so bad really, on HF, you can't please anyone.

all hockey fans need to do is concern themselves with how he plays on the ice and not what his GM is/isn't going to do. This is what is wrong with the game today, too few fans too many playing fantasy GM. It's a silly HF obsession.

 

[GettingYourMoms]

This guy is going to be steal for whoever gets him as 4th ovr.

How he plays on the ice is damn good, he's a pretty special talent.

He is indeed. If McDavid was an A+ prospect in his draft year, then this young Connor is an A-.

The name Connor is generational in Canada i've noticed, so many kids named that these days up here, there must have been 4-5 kids in that game last night, Connor this.......connor that.

What ever happened to just plain good old Gordie up here?

No one names their kid Gordie or Wayne anymore either. Walk into any elementary school and there will be a Connor or Aiden, Brayden, Hayden or someone that ends with -den.

Yeah, it's all the rage for sure.

Can only imagine what he would look like with better linemates.

 

[wetcoast]

Can only imagine what he would look like with better linemates.

He would look the same, just like he does when he plays with Team Canada internationally.

He is going #1 (zero doubt about this) the order of 2-5, top 10 ect is the only thing to watch for in the 23 draft class IMO.

It's not silly. For fans of the player, they're gonna wonder.

 

[Rengorlex]

That last goal was not from the game yesterday.

Like Suzuki and Slafkovsky?

I noticed that too disinterested without the puck too. Lazy stick checks and lack of engagement needs to be worked overall still probably best prospect since mcdavid

Oh I'd love that.
