Bedard possess perhaps the most tantalizing combination of elite shooting and playmaking that I’ve seen in a prospect in awhile. One of the most 50/50 dual threats I’ve ever seen, leverages the threat of his shot so well so manipulate space and create lanes for himself others. Unbelievable IQ, skating, hands on top of that and it’s just an unbelievable offensive arsenal. Plays with an underrated edge too, can’t wait to see him in the show
I use the eye test. Even though they have similar points when I see Mcdavid I’m like “wow, it’s so unreal what he is doing at high speeds” when I see Bedard, I go “he’s gonna be an elite player who’ll easily come and make an difference no matter what team he plays for” but I’m not so sure if he’ll pan out to be generational. That’s like a huge bar to reach. I guess we’ll have to wait and see
Bedard will be more of a crosby/lemieux crossover that a comparison of mcdavid. Generational yeah there’s no doubt but no one for years to come will have the talent mcdavid has, it’s just not questionable
With scoring being way up in the CHL as it is in the NHL, it's not even a comparison. Bedard might be close to or as good as say Matthews. But he's not Mcdavid, not possible. Plus, just your eyes 😉
@@jasonkemppainen4731 Eh, not really. McDavid may have worse numbers but he’s a talent literally people have NEVER seen before. Even now, no one is still close to his talent. Put draft year Matthews in the CHL and he’ll put up similar numbers. Bedard is still greatness, but McDavid still takes the cake because again, we’ve never seen McDavid’s skillset ever before. Bro would just burst through the defense the smoothest way and hands like crazy. Not to mention size, people will say size dont matter but we know damn well GM’s still covet size. McDavid pre-draft hype was insane.
@K J I would take Bedard over McDavid. McDavid has the personality of cardboard. He has no charisma whatsoever and because of that, he's not an effective captain and cannot rally his team to win a Stanley Cup. The intangibles still matter people
Tell McDavid to play defense in the playoffs first, it might help. Bedard is at least willing to put in the effort and does the dirty work already. He has more to offer to a team all-around if he is what we think he is
Such stupid comment. If the team who will eventually draft Bedard was positioned for playoff success they wouldn't be picking at the top of the draft. Alot of you oiler haters are going have a real hard time if they go on and win it all, which isn't out of the realm of possibility.
@@dnice4145 Refs can't even buy him a goal rn on the PP with the way they're selling out for the Oilers, dude's about to get swept by a half healthy Avs this season after getting swept in the playoffs last season lmao
in the nhl mcdavid is a better playmaker and by far over bedard and more dominant on the ice bedard score goals but when is not shooting we don t see him l watched 7 games of chicago and i didn t see a playmaker but a good scorer whith his wrist shot
Would love that but we don’t “need” him to return to cup contender status if that’s what you’re referring to. He’d undoubtedly be a massive cherry on top to an absolutely stacked prospect pool, but our future is set with or without him. Zegras, McTavish, Terry, Drysdale, Dostal, Zellweger, Mintyukov, and one of Fantilli/Michkov/Carlsson if we don’t land Bedard? Insane
@@matthewkabel6246 meh to be honest there core right now is pretty bad. Putting up points because they have zero depth. Huge minus in face offs, penalties, and in plus minus. Overall bedard would give them a fundamental piece to build around and optimism for winning hockey sooner than later. Zegras has regressed pretty bad and looks lost most nights. Drysdale is also a horrendous defender and is more known for his passing and skating.
@@Benvyious have you watched the Ducks this year? Zegras and Terry are already exceptional offensive catalysts and transition beasts and McTavish has displayed a very refined IQ and playmaking touch that I didn’t think would come this early. He’s played amazing given how awful he’s been deployed by Eakins, he’d have way more points if not for this awful coach
@@matthewkabel6246 yes I have and they have been horrible. Like profoundly bad. Underlying metrics support my stance. Zegras isn’t a piece you build around bedard is. No disrespect to other guys in draft none are as transformative as he is. When all is said and done bedard will be best player in this draft. If ducks front office was smart they would try and tank harder instead of winning meaningless games and lowering there odds at bedard. Just sayin
@@Benvyious To call them horrible and anything but above average (on a horribly coached team with no help around them no less) is simply a braindead take. I never compared Zegras to Bedard in terms of status or ceiling, but Zegras and McTavish are both top line centers at their peak. Adding a generational talent to that would make Anaheim the envy of the league. And also as much I as I want Bedard the front office can't dictate the outcomes of games, as players and coaches don't tank

The best line in the Graphic is “Connor is clearly better than Connor” 😂 the ambiguity
One can only wish this would happen
Yup, no matter what angle you look at it from...... Connor is better than Connor which Connor you may ask 🤷 well which ability are you asking about
* Connor garland joins the chat* 😂
Connor > Connor
@@Whitesquall123 Nope. Connor < Connor
Heads.

CONNOR BEDARD IS THE BEST PROSPECT TO EVER ENTER THE NHL. YES, EVEN BETTER THAN MCDAVID! THE NUMBERS PROVE IT!
What surprised me was Svozil with 13 points in 7 playoff games as a D man. Other than that it's Connor doing Conner stuff
Literally just pass it to bedard and you get a free point
@@Ohio_Isnt_Real Svozil is a legitimate catalyst and beast of a 2 way defenseman, doesn’t sound like you’ve watched him at all

Being a wings fan yourself im suprised i havent seen a vid on the season Lombardi is having. 100+ points in the OHL right now. Unless i missed it?
Imagine if they were in the same draft class lol
That would be the most difficult first round pick in ages

Hope Bedard gets drafted by a team more geared for playoff success than the Oilers.

@@JSauer21 you clearly don't watch him play
@@dnice4145 Watching him get shut down in person right now, hes way worse than I thought even strength
@@dnice4145 Refs can't even buy him a goal rn on the PP with the way they're selling out for the Oilers, dude's about to get swept by a half healthy Avs this season after getting swept in the playoffs last season lmao
Don't worry guys. The Canucks are sending five years worth of 1st round picks 2023-2027 to Phoneix for Bedard. He is coming home.
Arizona is 6th last not likely
Why do I feel like that isn't enough, let's make it 7 firsts...market adjustment
drive what captain connor bedard drives.
if you want your kid to be a star nhl hockey player name him connor
I think he gets 100 points first season
April fools is over bro
I could see it
Connor > Connor
Bedard is not the talent mcdavid is never has been.
Agreed
in the nhl mcdavid is a better playmaker and by far over bedard and more dominant on the ice bedard score goals but when is not shooting we don t see him l watched 7 games of chicago and i didn t see a playmaker but a good scorer whith his wrist shot
The Vancouver Canucks should offer who ever wins the lottery draft 10 first round picks from 2023 to 2033 for Connor Bedard‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Bedard hasn't don't nothing until he plays with men
What an ignorant comment
He’s gonna be a bust ! Watch
April fools is over bro
how lmao
imma come back to this in a year or 2
Hes gonna bust in your mother before hes a bust in the NHL
Your a bust for making such a stupid comment
Hoping he goes to ducks. Lord knows they need him
