I'm sure they'll talk about Bedard all game.
Even with his skates on, Bedard looks tiny standing next to Leo.
For Leo Carlsson early load management plan part of hopeful path superstardom
The Ducks prized prospect and No. 2 pick in the 2023 NHL Draft hasn't played every game by design. He's on board with the plan, and why it could lead to long-term success.

I'm shocked this isn't about him being too tired to play every game....

Very exciting player. Those mentioning him looking like a vet out there - he just has such a easy feel for the game no matter what part. I forget he doesn't turn 19 for a few more weeks. I'm confident he will be top 5 center in this league for a long time.
What an amazing consolation prize to losing out on their Bedard odds. CBJ having a pretty great show with their pick too. I'm honestly rooting for all of the big 3.

Avslöjar: Leo Carlsson nära blixtcomeback i Ducks
Leo Carlsson befarades att vara ur spel i upp till sex veckor. Nu kan Hockeynews avslöja att den svenske succérookien kan göra blixtcomeback redan om tre dagar.
Could be back as soon as Saturday as his rehab has gone better than expected.
Leo is still a playmaker more than a goal scorer, he just hasn't been surrounded by finishers so he's doing it himself. Unreal offensive talent

"Pavel Buchnevich The Fake"
Had a good start to the season, but hasn’t kept it going. Barely over .5PPG playing over 18 minutes per game. His face offs are putrid too.
The whole Ducks team looks checked out, Leo included. Probably add in a little bit of hesitation in his play after 3 significant injuries and a couple legit scares.
It's what it is like to play in the NHL as 18 year old...
Yeah it's a pointless "but"; people have different psychologies and react to adversity in different ways. Just because he plays with more hesitancy right now doesn't mean he can't recapture his lost confidence with more experience and more physical growth.
Even with his drop off in game to game production, which correlates with his injuries and correlates with the Ducks' overall production drop off, he's still in a D+1 playing at a 42 point pace on a dog ass NHL team.
If you're making relative comparisons to Bedard, then congrats, you've proven that the guy picked before Carlsson dubbed a generational prospect is better. No one expected any differently. Past that, Leo will be fine.
Edit: by way of example, look at Barkov's rookie season. Very comparable statlines for fairly comparable players. Just because Leo hasn't set the league on fire at 18-19 years old in a year where he's been adapting to North American ice doesn't mean he's f***ed or there's cause for concern.

Regardless of points, his smarts and workrate both ways was always on display. I think he should work on his faceoffs and his shot and he'll be more than fine next season.

No concern at all for Leo. The kid is going to be so good.
Oh I have a good idea of who he actually has in mind I just prefer not to be petty if I can catch myself
Lol, you have no idea actually about it, and as I said I had in mind exactly that dude, Garl. Because he used to say so many times how great Carlsson was and how SHL was much better than KHL...
