I don't think anyone claims that Dumais is more impressive than Bedard (Bedard of course also has significantly fewer games played), but there is good reason to be excited about Dumais, especially for CBJ fans.Its very impressive but he's also a year older playing on a memorial cup contender vs Bedard dragging his team to the playoffs
He’s such a difficult prospect to project. His hockey IQ is incredible, his #1 asset by far. Also an excellent passer, very precise, great saucer passes too. Very good hands as well. However … small, not very fast/explosive, shot is just OK, doesn’t play with a lot of pace. Surprisingly unflashy for a 5’9” player who scores so much.
Honestly, he could end up anywhere from ~Kucherov to ~Petan. Maybe the biggest wildcard of any currently drafted prospect.
I think that's all basically true. But his athleticism can be sneaky good. Like on this first goal, he goes from near standstill to cutting across the net powerfully and quickly.
I had another play in mind where he stole the puck and dangled a few guys for a goal, and it was a remarkable display of body control. But I can't find the clip. I'm not 100% sure that he won't be the next Petan, but I like Dumais' strength and athleticism more.
I think at 1:33 in this video is what you're talking about;
The kid is stupid gifted in IQ. The puck follows him. I am only concerned about his skating and I hope it can translate to the pro level. It wont be easyKid had an extraordinary game yesterday. Puck was glued to his stick all game. Couple snipes. Elite passing. Very impressive.

Far from it? Not gonna argue with you if you think its far from an issue...his skating is not a concern, far from it, you can relax.
George is ready to throw down!!!his skating is not a concern, far from it, you can relax.
He won't... He'll be skating next to Bedard in Columbus.How the hell is this kid supposed to go back to junior next year.
Extremely doubtful. There's not any openings on the wings are we are expecting to get multiple NHL caliber players back next season including Texier and Danforth, on top of others competing for that spot with guys like Voronkov, Foudy and Bemstrom.He won't... He'll be skating next to Bedard in Columbus.
Double jinx post?He won't... He'll be skating next to Bedard in Columbus.

Dumais would have to have the most impressive camp and preseason to even be considered to make it on the team through camp. Wish we could send him overseas to play against men.
