Does Bedard have a top 5 shot in the NHL?

[SeanMoneyHands]

I think he does, his shot is ridiculously good and very difficult for goalies to read because his release is lightning fast. If the Hawks could get a top line playmaking winger, Bedard easily scores 40-50 goals a year.

He will do that regardless

 

[EdJovanovski]

He has the best shot in the NHL

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Definitely top five. With Ovechkin, Laine, Stamkos, and pick someone for fifth.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Bedard, Ovechkin, Matthews, Laine, Caufield in no particular order are probably the best

Matthews? Don’t see how Bedard has a better shot than him.

Matthews? Don’t see how Bedard has a better shot than him.

Matthews goal scoring isn't about having a big shot. It's about how multi-faceted he is. The best parts of his goal-scoring are probably how good he is near the net, and specifically from his shot the release is better than the power.

But he may still be 5th. I don't think it's the same category though as those players who have absolutely huge shots where they can score easily from distance. Doesn't mean he's not a better goal scorer than those guys either. He's probably better right now than all of them.

Ovi, Laine, Pasta, Bedsy, Matthews is the top 5, I guess? Laine is damaged goods though so drop him if you want.

Matthews doesn’t really have trouble scoring from distance at all. He has a heavier and more powerful wrist shot and certainly one timer than Bedard.

 

[ViD]

Which type of shot ? Slap, wrist or snap ? Pretty sure his slap shot ain’t that great

 

[the valiant effort]

Matthew has the best shot to date. An almost zero effort wrister.

 

[NikolaTesla]

Most definitely. Theres something in his shot that I have never seen before. Not sure what it is. But its awesome.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Yeah, probably.

Aside from probably Matthews there's like 10, 15 players you can interchange to be in the top 5 and Bedard is one of them imo.

 

[Jetcetera]

He has a quick release and accurate wrist shot but thats about it. I could probably think of 10 guys id rather have shooting than bedard at this point in his career
