He's fast, a little undersized, reminds me a little of Jarvis but again, gotta wait.

Not with a full rebuild and a top 5 pick staring us in the face, not a chance

What concerns he goes first in ever draft but 2015. He's is nathan macKinnon  on steroids.

Hell Savoie would go first in every draft but 2015 

Expand  

Oh idk about that. Again, I want to get to January before really getting into this. So many guys barely played last year and I want to see the WJC20 before going further.

 Wright, savoie or lambert  will be the top 3 its locked in .

People can say Ivan will be in the 3 but he won't he will be 4 or 5  with cooley .

It's going to be a fun year to tank

How good is Wright?  Where would he rank among previous first overall picks?  He’s no McDavid, right?

He be with McDavid and Bedard will be better then both hands down 

And then comes michkov so much talent in these 2 drafts

You are going a little over the top.  Bedard doesn’t have McDavid’s size or skating ability. Putting up points in a truncated crazy WHL season doesn’t automatically mean he will be better then McDavid. Let’s see how the next two years go.

And we all knew McDavid was going to be the next one correct? Bedard has destroyed every record  Created by mcdavid to make his own records

And we all knew Hughes was better than Eichel, and Lindros was a god, and Tavares was the next one...I'm just saying you can't make assumptions that a prospect in Bedard is going to pan out like the reality that is McDavid. He's still just a projection.

Really ? at age 15  He basically destroyed the league?  How many points do you think he would have if he played 24 games like Krebs

His points per game was 1.89 vs  Connor mcdavid's 1.05

And Bedard  27 points of 28  Are primary assist or goals that's just completely insane

Who in the hell said Hughes would be better then jack eichel? .

I have to disagree Bedard is truly amazing he destroyed a league at 15 years old WHL Which never happens and destroyed the u18 vs guys that are 18 and he's 15 

 look up Connor mcdavid's u18 at the same age and  You'll see why all the hype

Lot of people looked at Hughes stats compared to Eichel's in the same league and thought he'd be better.

I feel like sometimes on here what I'm saying isn't actually read...I'm not denying the hype of Bedard. I'm not even going to contend with you that's he's not a better prospect than McDavid was when he was a prospect; I genuinely don't know. All I'm saying is it's crazy to say a 16 year old kid will be better 'hands down' than a proven NHL, 2 time Hart trophy winner. He has two years to go before he even enters the league.

Did you think this way before McDavid? That it's crazy that he will be better then Crosby

What league? There's only one year of stats? Bedard could fall off a cliff in his development and seriously level out.

Yes that was his first year at 15 like  Mcdavid he Got the honor to play a year early in the WHL like Mcdavid did in the OHL.

 

Think what?  That connor McDavid was just all hype before he entered and You couldn't compare Crosby etc with him

I am not saying you cannot compare him to McDavid as a prospect. I literally said you can in my post. I am just saying you cannot guarantee that he will be better than him.

McDavid had the same PPG as Spezza, and less than Tavares for what it's worth. The OHL is harder. Bedard is 5'9 at 16 years old, McDavid was 5'11.

All I'm saying is slow down the hype train and Conn Smythes for this kid just yet. He's a really good prospect, but he's two years away from even being drafted.

Harder than what? 

If you mean the WHL, that is highly debatable

Bedard was 15 in the WHL and 15 in u18 which he was the leading  The Canadian team in points with this year's draft class on that team 

The last person that did that was Connor mcdavid 14 points in 2013

 

 But I get your point we'll see what happens and will revisit this

I will say it's a shame he's not in this draft. I'll also say that while he could be really special, I don't want any chance at him.

There are several rankings that do not have Savoie or Lambert in the top three. A year out from the draft nothing is locked in.

The level of certainty that you are projecting about these 15-17 year old players is way overboard.  It’s bordering on absurd and making me doubt whether your opinion has and credibility at all.  Especially considering that none of them really played a normal season last year and some barely played at all.  These guys have 1-2 more seasons to play before they are drafted.  A lot can change.

Like this past season you were pounding the table for Raty for months saying he was going to be the best, and by draft time you were campaigning for other players.  You just should cool it a bit.

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a VERY SPECIFIC REASON to revive this one.
