Connor Bedard Vs. Macklin Celebrini

[Xirik]

Define "isn't as great" because you sound silly.

two is better then one.

hard concept for you to understand but there you go.

 

[sensfan4lifee]

Celebrini is just thew new flashy toy, he's not better than Bedard or Michkov for that point just wait and see, I just think his game will take less time to translate to the NHL but no he's not better than Bedard

Connor Busthard?

Macklin looks like Malkin

 

[shakes the clown]

Celebrini looks like a more of a Barkov/Hischier guy who plays all situations very well with good production

Bedard is maybe like a Patrick Kane, who will have a lot of goals and be at the top point producers for years to come but probably not the guy you want on the PK.

Both a good and at this point its who you put around these two players that factors in the most.

Barkov without Reinhart isn't as that great
Kane without Toews isn't as great
Ovechkin without Backstrom isn't as great.

Kane and Toews rarely played on a line together. Kane was pretty great without help from Toews.

Reminds me a bit of Eichel vs Matthews in terms of prospects. Eichel/Bedard is flashier and had more hype while the more all-around game and subtle things that lead to being an analytics monster from Matthews/Celebrini is harder to appreciate at first.

Eichel wasn't flashier and definitely didn't have more hype

Connor Busthard?

Macklin looks like Malkin

In exactly zero ways does Macklin look like Malkin

 

[Sasso09]

Celebrini just seems more well rounded to me

Because he is.... but also because you've been told he's a 2 way monster (he isn't). He's responsible defensively, nothing more.

Celebrini for me but I could see it going either way. I haven’t seen Bedard take over games the way I’ve already seen Celebrini do it.

I haven't missed one Celebrini or Bedard game yet and this comment is kinda hilarious. Celebrini hasn't "taken over" a game yet in his career while Bedard has many.

Anyone here saying Celebrini >>> Bedard is going to look so bad in as soon as a few months when Bedard gets going.

Bedard needs a few more months to get going? Season might be nearing its close in a few more months.

 

[HeadLiceHatty]

Bedard needs a few more months to get going? He can't just ramp up and go right now? Season might be nearing its close in a few more months.

In a few months when he’s pulled away so far it’s a joke like everyone with a brain and watches hockey knows he will. 0% his low ass shooting percentage is sustainable, he’ll get going on a level Celebrini is incapable of

Talking shit on Celebrini here won't magically help Michkov win the calder...

The truth is the truth, if that hurts you, maybe stay on your teams board lol.

Whoever has a better GM throughout their career.

Connor Busthard?

Macklin looks like Malkin

Said this in another thread but stylistically the more I watch Celebrini he actually reminds me of Crosby. But maybe with less offense and more defense. But his ability to win puck battles, his hockey iq, ability to drive offense and make his teammates better, and just this intangible drive and determination he has all over the ice.

 

[elmaco]

Celebrini looks awesome.

 

[ViD]

Bedard’s main weapon is his shot. He’s not a physical force, he doesn’t have great skating nor elite defending game, and so far this year his shot has been underwhelming

Celebrini clearly demonstrates a more well rounded game
