Has Connor Bedard quietly became underrated ?

He has offensive gifts , he has deficits everywhere else in his game. I’m not sure his gifts are enough to outweigh his diminutive stature but I’m hoping the best for him. I’ve watched him a half dozen games or so now and not noticed him at all unless it’s a powerplay and he has space and time

He had generational like junior production but that doesn’t mean he was a generational prospect. Hes not like Mcdavid or Mackinnon where they can create scoring chance after scoring chance out of nothing. Could still be a 100+ points player tough but Chicago did him dirty by not drafting a perfect winger next to him in Demidov

Pretty much, it's the same thing with Quinn Hughes. I mean, sure you could be a good hockey player but first you have to put the kleenex away and stop crying incessantly.

Quinn Hughes is a phenomenal skater though and can get away with it. Not sure I get the comparison.

He'll be a great player. I am a little disappointed given the hype, though. Still, I know that's unreasonable. He's still doing well overall. More of a Patrick Kane than a Crosby or McDavid, which is not bad at all. It took some time for MacKinnon to get going after his rookie season too.
