He has the same grit I must say.Only on paper, without skate he 5'8 at best
He Kailer Yamamoto with better hands, better vision, less speed and less grit
Good luck!
Bedard 4 goal game today:
But if that were the case, all players would be that high. It is when you compare him to his peers....McDavid, Crosby etc didn't have the same impact at the World Juniors as Bedard. Do I think he will become them, no idea...but it will be fun to watch.Juniors seems like a beer league in compare to NHL.
More drafted players should head to Europe for a year, to develope.
Seider for ex, did that.
Err... its' junior hockey. The CHL is likely the best junior age development system in the world and WHL most pro-style in terms of travel schedule, # of games and style of play.Juniors seems like a beer league in compare to NHL.

Guess we will see. Junior league hockey is a much different breed than the NHL. A ton of players have had insane junior careers (obviously his is on another level so far) and had no where near the success once they make the big jump. He's going to make an impact but the question is how much. Time will tell. He's no where near as fast as McDavid but has his agility and hands plus a lethal NHL shot already. Will be interesting.This Bedard fellow is really, really, really, really, really good. I think it will be McDavid and Bedard #1 and #2 in the league for a long time to come. The stats he puts up are absolutely remarkable.
He scores 2.5 pts a game on a team that scores 3.78 goals per game.
That's ridiculous levels of dominance. An offensive participation rate above anything even Gretzky/Lemieux posted in their final years of junior.
Bedard 66.1%
Gretzky 59.1% (of course he was only 16 when his final Junior season started).
Lemieux 53.5%
McDavid 52.5%
Bedard is going to be stunningly good if those numbers are anything to go by.
His team is awful. I will bet anyone he ends up being closer to Yakupov than McDavid at the NHL level. Too small and slow.This Bedard fellow is really, really, really, really, really good.

1 month avatar bet that he scores 82+ points in his 1st NHL season?His team is awful. I will bet anyone he ends up being closer to Yakupov than McDavid at the NHL level. Too small and slow.
