Does that mean bust?
No that wasn't what I was thinking at all.

My only issue with Bedard was the generational stuff. I think there were a lot of unfair expectations. If he was treated like any other 1st overall I think that it would be ok. When I said I didn't see special I meant like top 10 player of all time special, not compared to the rest of the league special.

Bedard will probably still be a hell of a player and a superstar......but damn does he have no help whatsoever. And his coach was playing him with talent, he was producing and then he puts him with no talent hacks and his production disappears because he's the only threat to score on the ice.

Reichel on rush. Neither Maroon or smith go to front of the net.

It’s amazing how absolutely worthless Taylor hall is. It looks as though he’s putting in no effort

What do you think then?

Ahh, just saw your edit. Give me a second to read it and I’ll post a reply here.

Which 1 OA in the last decade after McDavid were better prospects? I saw a lot of “best prospect since McDavid” not “he’s McDavid”

Remember, devils fans got quite angsty about Hughes for a few years too. He’s going to be a franchise building block, but he needs way more support

Team looks slow. If you're going to play the "break it out high and hard off the glass" game, you gotta have some speed to pick up the loose pucks in the neutral zone.

It's either a stretch pass resulting in icing, or desperation chip out of the zone.

Complete dump and chase game, yawn.

They are slow. They are a very slow skating team on the whole

Yeah it's total garbage.

Richardson is absolutely ruining him. And he somehow still has defenders here.
Turning your #1 overall into a shutdown winger. Great stuff.
