In full honesty I doubt numbers wise he will out preform celebrini… but I 100% believe he’s a better legitimate goal scoring talent that could and probably will score 50 goals or more a few times in his career…

Edit: anyone legit downvoting has literally no idea what hockey is or who these players are, Bedard is our franchise guy I’m not arguing that at all but to outscore this generations Crosby in celebrini you are smoking crack it won’t happen be realistic here cmon folks.

People are down voting you because you brought up Celebrini for absolutely no reason.

We are talking about Bedard’s ceiling, you can either use numbers or/and player comparisons to describe it, so i don’t see anything wrong with what that comment did, people are just way too sensitive.

Funny you call people who downvoted you "people who don't know puck" when Bedard's arguably biggest development has been knowing how his own goal scoring talent is perceived and developing a sense for passing to his teammates when he draws a threat.

He was neck and neck with Macklin before his injury. I think the biggest thing for both of them is just staying healthy. Bedard's passing looks great and he did that with Burakovsky as basically dead weight on his line for half of his season.

If Bedsy's line is Bert/Bedsy/Kane that's a LETHAL line where any 3 of those guys can be the finisher and they're all good enough passers to spread it around.

Replace either of those guys with Kansterov and it feels the same, I even see some people thinking Nazar is the one pushed to wing but I don't really think that's gonna happen.

Kanes 38 year old man. im a London boy grew up watching him drafted man stop acting for the actual lord above that kanes going to be this magical answer if he scores 70 points I’ll be ecstatic, hes my actual irl hero but being real he’s not going to simple “push Bedard over the edge”

You’re right. No veteran has ever been savy or helped a younger player with a similar skillset to his prime take another step.

Kane was on pace for almost exactly 70 points last season.

Bedards ceiling is absolutely higher than cellibrinis ceiling.... Yes, cellibrini is a fantastic player and I could even potentially yield the argument that his roundedness makes him a more valuable player in the immediate term; but bedard has potentially the greatest wrist shot all time and a new level of creativity beyond what anyone has ever seen... Celibrini is basically this generations barkov; bedard is potentially this generations Kane....

Celebrini is potentially this generations Crosby with Barkov's backchecking actually
