Makes ya wonder how Bedard was rated as #1. If he lacks the speed at that size, then he shoulda been bumped down the draft order.
His production in juniors was exceptional. The overlooked aspect IMO is that players can get away with lack of size and speed at that level if their hockey IQ, stickhandling, and shot are as good as Bedard's. In the NHL, you can get away lack of size OR speed, but it's really difficult to lack both and be a "generational talent."

Unless the Blues come out and play the period of their lives I hope they get booed off the ice. Not because they lose to the Sharks but because the effort level is horrendous tonight.
