I thought Kyle Davidson surrounded Bedard with some vets. What happened to Hall, Teravainen and Bertuzzi?
Agreed, they’re better than last year, those are cope posts. But I do think Bedard has more to give, 19 year olds in the best league in the world sometimes have tough patches. The generational tag has f***ed Bedard on this board, no one in that draft is generational, no one is or will be McDavid, who was the last guy like that.
Hall and Bertuzzi haven't played with Bedard all season 5v5 and Teravainen hasn't in about half the games.
He did that last year with Kurashev, actually.
That's strange, I thought they were brought in to play with Bedard. I'm not a coach and maybe I'm wrong, but I suggest that the burden of a team leader is hurting him a bit, it's too much to ask from a teenager. I saw some compare him to Jack Hughes, I think playing behind Hischier helped his development. Maybe Chicago should bring someone who would take some responsibilities off Bedard's shoulders.
No I don't and never did.
Those guys are wingers. The mistake was forcing Bedard into the centre role. Hawks should have bright in an experienced top six centre and have Bedard play on that guy’s wing. Monahan for example. Forcing Bedard into the centre role is stifling his offence. Let him play wing and have more freedom offensively. Then transition him to centre over the next couple seasons. He’s in over his head right now.
The players are forever linked because they were both drafted in the same draft class, therefore the Russian mob follows Bedard, Smith, Fantilli, Carlsson in every thread, not to mention Demidov, Celebrini, and I'm sure even the 2025 class? And those of us who are annoyed "can't handle the heat"? lol.
