Has Connor Bedard quietly became underrated ?

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Do you agree Hughes isn’t very good since he isn’t even PPG this season and being out scored by Noesen?

He's definitely not generational, just like Bedard.

He has 1 single less point than McDavid, who has less points than Stefan Noesen….

What a strange post

Yes I'm not sure that will last.

How much for his Young Guns Gold parallel now?

Over - Rated

4% Shooting .... is this a joke?

If i was a director in NHL 25 i would put his potential to Top 6 Medium and his Ovr grade would be no more than 84

2 goals in 21 last games is definitely a cause for a concern when we talk about an elite sniper

As elite as David Desharnais

I'm trying to imagine Bedard playing in the Lindros era lol.

Paul Kariya minus the IQ and top end skills

Damn, Kariya torched the league in his second year, 50 goals, 108 pts...

Kariya is crazy underrated imagine him in this NHL, always admired him as a kid. But Bedard would light up any league he’s special.

It's almost like Lindros had some other traits relative to Bedard that can't quite be captured in looking at raw statistics.

I mean Lindros has a lot on pretty much any player in the history of the game except guys like Jagr and Mario....Gretzky was 6'0 and 185 lbs not exactly a giant. Just saying there is more to hockey than simply having insane physical tools.

Comparing someone to McDavid and Crosby before their rookie season is not very realistic.

If you haven’t broken out and won the Hart, Lindsay, Art Ross, Selke, Calder, Vezina, Adams, and Conn Smythe by the time you’re eight games into your second year the organisation that drafted you is probably rife with firings and suicidal ideation.
Why is this Bedard kid not trade bait for a solid 35 year old third liner?
Cut your losses.

Classic sunk cost fallacy, Chicago just needs to down tools and tank for Hagens already.

You’re one making claims after 7 games played like it means a deal thing, not me.

McDavid was compared to Crosby before their rookie season and that ended up just fine for him?

The claim was that he's generational. I didn't make the claim, I merely poked hole in the claim. The burden of proof is not on me.

You were one of those foolish posters making generational claimed before he stepped foot in the NHL because of junior stats. And now you refuse to address the fact that he's played ~70 NHL games without looking generational.

He's an excellent talent, but maybe you can finally admit that he's not a McDavid or Crosby.
