Show me one. Polls of anyone who matters?
He seems like just a sweet little cherub boy who happens to be unreal at hockey. I think if you actually hate him you’re probably just doing the thing where you hate guys that aren’t on your team because they’re not on your team.
Sorry for adding to the Bedard hype/threads but I thought it would be more relevant with a vs Matthews Would you jump the CB hype train or pick the Reguar Rocket Richard AM. Apart from talent and effectiveness you would also be dealing with a +12 M$ player that might leave town in a couple of...

lol dude I'm not taking this seriously at all, I never even think about Bedard when we're not playing the Hawks and I've been hyperbolically posting in response to your post about me jinxing the team.
Completely seriously, I'm skeptical of his future in this league as a "generational" player, same with Jack Hughes, both for similar reasons. They are small and soft finesse players. Bedard is extremely talented but also flawed and it's completely ridiculous to prop him up with guys like McDavid, Matthews, Kucherov, etc. so early in his career. Honestly it does a disservice to him. And it's not just HF posters, many hockey fans in my office (mostly bruins but other teams as well incl. Pens, Devils, Oilers, etc.) and all of them hype this kid up like he's the next McDavid. hint hint, he's not. not even close. he has a great shot but that's the only thing impressive to me when comparing him to the top players currently.
