  1. I think Leo has a higher ceiling all around than Bedard does. They both have all of the intangibles but you can't teach size and strength and Leo has the advantage on both . Bedard and Leo will both be superstars for many years to come.

  2. Carlsson will be better than Bedard. Not because of size but because of factors you folks know nothing about. Carlsson is right handed and shoots correctly- with a lefty stick. He is in balance & harmony. Bedard is right handed and shoots with a right curved stick. This means 'out of balance'. Shooting off the wrong leg & a host of other deficits. Bedard has hard accurate wrist shot and a great knack of getting wide open in the slot once or twice a game.He's undersized and rather below average speed. The hype has been ridiculous. That's a professional scouting report.

  3. There are 758 players in the NHL. Bedard is ranked #749 in terms of +/-. He's a major liability. A floater. Not a generational talent. A goal hog out to pad his stats. Always has been. He has team mates who are plus players. Lots of rookies are plus players. So don't try to blame it on the team or the fact that he's a rookie.
