"Nobody is afraid of Bedard"....Bruce Boudreau

Bedard is extremely talented, but I think he just needs time to figure out how to take full advantage of his skill set in the NHL.

Look at other undersized superstars who had slow starts in the NHL like Patrick Kane....he didn't fully break out until his 9th season. Before that he was just seen as a star PPG player, then something clicked and he was lifted to superstar status.

He's doing a much better job at getting to scoring areas and creating chances, while playing a much better two way game. His bigger, faster, stronger, and plays a more competitive style.

He projects as a legit play driving center who can match up all over the ice. Bedard looks more like an elite offensive winger who will be stuck on the perimeter.

Needs to get benched and stop playing pond hockey on left
