So a 19 year old kid on an incredibly shitty team doesn’t scare anyone? Wow, that’s some really Confucius deep thinking there Bruce

I don’t get the comparison to Jack Hughes, Bedard carried more hype and the had “generational” tag attached

I haven't really watched a lot of him, but the few games ive seen show him as a passive, undersized timid player with a great shot.

D'oh!
The Sharks are doing it all right with Celebrini, building around him with the right players and mentality, letting them all grow and learn together.
Chicago is just assembling random castoffs and trade deadline fodder around Bedard with seemingly no real plan in place for him, just expecting him to do it all.

But it can create offense.
Jack was winning possession though, and was elite at controlled zone exits.
They are better this year than last year
Super skilled, but he's probably the least forceful player among the league's top offensive players. But yeah it's semantics I guess.

Taking a page out of the Oilers Decade of darkness playbook, at least the Oilers had Eberle and Hall together. Bedard is on an island by himself.

He’s actually pretty big for a guy his age that’s in the nhl, having that muscle actually translate to strength while playing hockey is his issue. There’s plenty of elite players that probably have similar amounts of muscle or less (look at the clip of McDavid shirtless in the Amazon documentary).

Bruce is right at the moment...
Bedard is shifty but on the small side and not a burner on the ice
granted he has absolutely no one to play with in Chicago but physically, no one is scared of him

This thread is crazy. Someone said he will be a Taylor hall caliber first overall pick. Like cmon.
And someone is comparing him with Jack Hughes as a 19 year old. Bedard will probably be the teenager with the most points in the nhl outside of Crosby in the last 40 years. With no help. Hughes was horrible in his rookie year and better his second but still not close to what Bedard is right now.
He is young, not fully grown and has a lot to learn but he is 19. He doesn’t have to be the best in the league yet.

I agree with most posts about his lack of size. At 5'10" you are not intimidating anyone at this level. He looks small out there and I have never seen him throw his weight around. Maybe he'll grow into that type of dominant player ? But for now, he's a just an over-hyped young player imho.
I’ve been reading your posts for years and you’re an excellent poster, so you’re well aware that all players develop at different times. Celebrini is and will probably be more of an all around player than Bedard ever will be, but that doesn’t mean Bedard won’t become a player that other teams fear. It’s way too early to in his development to make comments like Bruce made is my point

Anyone know who are some unexpected leaders in Afraids per 60?

Bedard already scares me with time and space. He's gonna be a great scorer in this league for years.
At no point has McDavid looked like the 300th best player in the NHL this season, no need to be so hyperbolic.
True, but Ovie was a lot bigger and stronger than Bedard was in their draft year

This right here is EXACTLY what I'm talking about with this misinformation here on HFboards that spreads like wildfire. I'm guessing you're just repeating what the others have said, jumping on the bandwagon. The Sharks rebuild is the greatest rebuild in the history of pro sports and the Hawks have Bedard and literally only Bedard and absolutely nothing else and aren't doing anything right/have zero young talent on the way. Right? Isn't this the world you've imagined?
Well here's the REALITY: I just googled "top NHL prospect pools"....and out of the first 3 sources i checked the Hawks are ranked 1st, 4th, and 2nd respectively. They were also graded very highly/"A" for last years draft. Both the Hawks and the Sharks have a TON of young talent in their systems, and even more draft picks upcoming....only the Hawks have a slightly higher caliber of D prospects whereas the Sharks have higher caliber F prospects. But this will all even out as both organizations continue to build. Both have promising futures but still a long way to go, and anyone THIS EARLY trying to make judgements(especially when they obviously have very little insight on the facts/details) is just trying to force their agenda in favor of the Sharks/Celebrini. Cuz its the "cool"/popular thing to do.
Its too bad that this gets lost in all the nonsense. People are far too distracted with their hatred for the Blackhawks.
And despite being told that you're misinformed....just like all the others.....you're probably going to ignore this, and the BS/misinformation wildfire is just going to keep spreading.

Re: Mario, it's amazing the things you can get away with you're hands down the most talented person to ever play the game lol.
I always take flack when I tell people this because I'm an Oiler fan, but Mario is my favorite player ever. If Gretz was Einstein, Mario was Da Vinci.
