Has Connor Bedard quietly became underrated ?

That's exactly what I say, he doesn't have anybody around to help him with 5vs5 scoring because he plays with TK on PP only, and Konecny is the only player on the Flyers who thinks the game close to Michkov's level.
Enough with the bad teammates excuses. Barkov, Crosby, McDavid, Draisaitl, Kucherov, Kaprizov, Panarin, Ovechkin, Matthews, Pastrniak, Mackinnon, Aho, Scheifele, Tkachuk, Stutzle, Eichel, etc. would be able to produce with any linemates. They are the definitions of elite players. Connor Bedard doesn't have anything elite, except for his shot, but he doesn't have the space, time or the Iq to use it often. The more I watch him, he's closer to a Alex Debrincat than a Mackinnon kind of player. Very one dimensional smallish perimeter winger.
I would take Macklin Celebrini before Bedard any day of the week. :teach:

He's simply too small to ever be the type of generational player some people billed him as. And he was massively over rated. Skilled like Kane, Shoots like Matthews, the most 'Generational' player since Mcdavid. But he looks like a slightly less dynamic Johnny Gaudreau when you actually watch him play.
