i think where bedard's been struggling is that his shooting isn't actually that deceptive right now. he's incredibly skilled but his wrister is more about beating goalie by placement and quickness but kind of textbook.

I think his wrister is perfectly fine but he is unable to create space to get it off by skating the puck and no one on the team ever sets the guy up with shit. I’d kill to have a player that is playing like granlund, walman or eklund on the hawks. Having 3 guys playing that well would blow my mind right now after watching this dumpster fire. San Jose has 25% more goals right now (hawks would have to increase their production 33% to match) with 6 players playing roughly at Bedards production level.

Bedard’s 2 most common defense teammates at 5v5 are Alex Vlasic and Seth Jones. It would blow my mind to have those two instead of Cody Ceci and Mario Ferraro, who are Celebrini’s most common defense teammates. So it cuts both ways, although I agree Celebrini has better support in general.

Both of those guys are good all around players and Alex is an excellent defender but neither one bring much offensively. Neither are capable PP1 QBs. They do put up half decent numbers due to having no one else but you are kidding yourself if you think they are helping Bedards production. Jones is actively hurting it. I’m hoping vlasic continues to progress offensively.

They don’t need to be legit PP1 QBs to help a lot more than Ceci and Ferraro. They’re able to play against top competition and hold their own both offensively and defensively. That’s a lot more than can be said for the Sharks pair who harm Celebrini’s production by getting caved in and failing to get the puck out or support the cycle when in the offensive zone.

Funny story, early this year just to see if I could get my buddy who's stubborn to budge on a Bedard trade in a keeper leauge.. I offered him Makar, Marner, Otteinger, and my first... And he declined 😂

He's currently 1-7
I'm 5-3
(Ironically his only win came vs me last week but we both had the top two pts that week and I lost by 0.4pts so it was a fluke win) Funny shit tho.
