[Bounces R Way]

loves the game

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

Great skillset
Never seemed to have the drive to utilize it.

He just looks like a spoiled kid , no effort or fighting spirit just though he could make it with talent alone. He could not adjust either as he had no other skills or the mental game, just wanted to be the one

It’s gotta be pretty awful. Like the unfortunate times one brother ends up the chad and the brother is completely ignored most of the time.

Yeah must be really tough to have a dad worth multiple millions of dollars growing up while you get to play pro hockey as a job , poor dude

Should of waived Willy

Not today Satan

 

[Man Bear Pig]

This draft had some hype around that top 10
And don’t get me wrong there is some amazing players in it

But also some absolute hot garbage

I remember thinking at the time that Alex had a shot at being a legit star one day as he had similar tools to his brother. He just doesn't bring anything to the table if he's not producing.

Yeah after getting a chance to really watch him play for 5 games he is the answer to what Willy Nylander would be if he didn’t want it at all.
Similar skill set and absolutely none of his drive.

Not today Satan

He's retired
