ya, expected, or rather, as i guessed (but wouldnt have bet money on)

very talented, IQ and hands are top notch. Speed and physicality is holding him back from being a better even strength player... although, i will say that I feared he might get pushed around more. He is a bit of a mini-tank.

Doing great for season 1 in a new league, team and continent, on smaller ice, as a teenager. Perhaps he is even doing 'better than expected' or 'on the high end of expected estimation'

Depends who you ask. I saw him live at the U18s and it was immediately obvious his processing speed and hockey IQ were special and have been closely following his career ever since. I was enamored with his smarts and ability to read the game.

I think he's spot on with where he was anticipated to be. Top-6 forward immediately with sky high upside.

Hitting 65 points as a 19 year old rookie is super impressive. He'll firmly be a PPG player by 21 or 22, can't say he's at all underachieving his expectations.

I obviously hate the Flyers have him, but I'm glad he's in the NHL and got out of the KHL. The NHL needs more talent like him.

I figured he could score about 70 points in a full season, be better on the PP and have some ups and downs. I think that’s about what he’s done so far

It depends how far you go into expected.

He should be expected to play more minutes and get more points because of it. Bedard plays 2 minutes more per game than he does.

BUT

Tortorella is his coach so it was expected he gets weeks off as a healthy scratch because he didn't go down on a knee and block a shot while up 3 with 2 minutes left. The fact that he's not thrown under the bus completely already is him performing much better than expected.

Depends on who you ask. I'd say he's probably meeting expectations for this season.

Closer to above than below expectations.
