Want crazy data? Patrik Laine, back from lower body injury, apparently slow moving and has not played much. Top speed this season: 21:45. Vs only anointed generational player pre-draft since McDavid, Connor Bedard: top speed this season: 21:44. :huh:

So Connor Bedard is slower than Laine with knee injury, that's interesting. But If I got the NHL Edge stats right, that speed is below league average for forwards, which is 22.07 mph. The top speed for McDavid is 23.97, so more than 2 mph higher or about 10% higher.

What is funny is that Laine is approaching league average on Shots on Goal (49 vs. 55.7) while having played only 18 games, just over 1/3 of the total for most of the skaters. And of course he is already on 77 percentile on goals (12 vs. average 7).

He’s a special talent.
