C Connor Bedard - Regina Pats, WHL (2023 Draft)

[ryan callahan]

I'm going to bet Denomie's numbers will plummet once Bedard leaves for the U-18.

You realize Denomie's combined numbers placed him second on the Pats for points last year? An overager scoring at a PPG pace after 0.8ish PPG pace in his last season is pretty realistic.

Bedard is a WHL cheat code at 15...15...Buffalo and Detroit fans must be licking their chops for 2023, and I don't blame them one bit.

9th of the season, third point tonight.

Very nice.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

And there's the 10th goal of the season...

 

[Bubbles]

This kid is unstoppable. Just scored another.

 

[ru4reals]

15 freakin years old leading the WHL on Scoring!!! Pretty impressive wow.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

How many games in the WHL regular season, this season?
It can not be just 25, can it?

24.

Bedard's last game is April 9th. He has to quarantine before the U-18.

Generational talent.

He's way too good for a 15-year-old prospect.

 

[Love]

Generational talent.

I was just gonna say... at what point do we call him generational? This is unbelievable.

 

[Bubbles]

I was just gonna say... at what point do we call him generational? This is unbelievable.

When he does it in the NHL, I suppose. But he's probably the best prospect the WHL has ever seen.

[covfefe]

He is truly sickening and I am obsessed. Finally buckled and paying for whl live because of this.

But just for the non-WHL fans, Swifty has been the worst team in the league over the last 3 years. Maybe the CHL, not sure. So every game against them is, very realistically, point night.

 

[Gold Standard]

What makes my morning coffee taste even better - Connor Bedard highlights. remarkable. He's got goalies' minds scrambled. His shot his deadly accurate.

So, one more game on the 9th. before he leaves for U18s. Looking forward to it. I may have to up my expectations for something close to a 2013 Connor McDavid like tournament.

 

[Killerjas]

Would look good in a Red Wings jersey

 

[snipes]

That release is filthy.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Pretty safe to call a 15 year old kid the best prospect since McDavid. Wow

 

[SM]

Last game of the season for Bedard this Friday.

 

[Tap on the Ankle]

So his grandfather died and he goes and scores 4pts the next day?

Love how you can see him flinch a bit before the faceoff, obviously planning to storm in and make a play. His team loses the faceoff but it doesn't matter because he just casually intercepts the pass to the dman and then he's gone.

 

[RedHawkDown]

He will make a great Red Wing.

 

[tmlfan98]

Pretty safe to call a 15 year old kid the best prospect since McDavid. Wow

Bedard is racking up more points at 15 (1.86 pts/game) than McDavid at 16 (1.77 pts/game).

 

[Dominance]

Bedard is racking up more points at 15 (1.86 pts/game) than McDavid at 16 (1.77 pts/game).

With substantially less skill around him.

 

[tmlfan98]

With substantially less skill around him.

I don't know much about Regina from last year, but wasn't Erie the worst team in the OHL when McDavid first got there?
