Connor Bedard or Jack Hughes?

you don't get those stats and being labeled the next generational talent by simply having an elite shot. You need to have really high end skills in other areas too.

I think it's fair to say Bedard>Hughes as a prospect, and probably did quite a few things on the same level or better than Hughes.

Obviously current Hughes has developed since then and it's possible his game had more room to grow than Bedard right now. But I suppose we will wait and see.

Yeah his shot obviously isn't the only thing he has going for him. His vision is just as good IMO, and his hands are right there as well.

I still never liked the generational tag. Because for how dangerous as he was as a prospect with the puck, he didn't have the necessary skating & puck protection attributes to be able to consistently create time and space like world class players at the next level.

I know this is old and I'm not here to make one side feel stupid or anything like that.
just wondering now that we are a year + into Bedard's career would you still make the choice you made last year?

I thought it would be petty to bump this as a Devils fan but if a Leafs fan feels like it....
