Agree its weird to have the nhl ranks lol. If anything they should do rookie ranks

I’m sorry but weren’t those numbers “percentiles” as in he is at the top end of the league in all of those stats? I saw they did one on Thomas that was similar but positive not “cherry picked” negative stats

I feel like these were supposed to be percentiles, not absolute ranks…

Hi, this popped in my feed. These are all very good stats and the rank is percentile. He’s tied for 21st in goal scoring, for instance. It would be wild if 90+ players had ten goals by now!

Gotta love in broadcast trolling. Unfortunately this kid is going to haunt us for a decade. Kane 2.0, as long as they don’t find their Toews, Kieth, or Seabrook 2.0 we’ll be ok.
Best broadcast troll I remember was Joe Buck calling a Cards Cubs game on Fox way back when Mark Prior was mowing down teams and looked like the the legit second coming of Greg Maddux. Buck said, on a national broadcast, “I wonder what will happen first, the Cubs win a World Series or Mark Prior wins his 300th game… for the Braves.”

If you look at each teams 23 man roster, there are 736 active NHL players. For anyone, especially a rookie to be top 100 in all of these is what they are showing.
Most people hear about point production, these are some more aspects of an all around game that you don’t get from assists and goals.

Fully taken out of context. It’s percentile based. We’d all love for him to bust to our benefit, but that’s not the case.

That’s petty as fuck. You shouldn’t rag on the Blackhawks because they’re bad and you think Connor Bedard is overrated.
You should rag on the Blackhawks because they’re a garbage organization that systemically covered up sexual assaults and hazings of their players, and they don’t deserve their good fortune. Everyone who wants a Connor Bedard jersey should be forced to first purchase a Kyle Beach jersey. AND NEITHER THE LEAGUE NOR THE BLACKHAWKS SHOULD GET THE PROFIT FROM THOSE JERSEYS. Give the money to Kyle or a charity. Anyways fuck the hawks.

For an 18 year old rookie, those are pretty good numbers.

97th?! Pretty sure 10 goals this season so far is still top 40.

Percentiles! C’mon people.

Being on top 100 in those categories at 18 is quite impressive. As long as no serious injuries occur he will develop and get better as he gets older and matures. I think he is the real deal. Screw Chicago and their corruption

I mean the kid is just 18 has a great shot. But that’s where it ends. Zero defense and is kinda scared out there. But with that said he will eventually fill out his body and be awesome in my opinion.

“Goals” is a cherry-picked stat now?
They were presented with a positive tone.
He’s garbage who plays for Chit cago
