I've been a Hawks fan for over 50 years and am sick of hearing about Bedatd. He's all offense. Centers are the first to help on D if there's a turnover in the O zone and the wingers are forechecking. Bedard should be in the AHL, honing his skills and gaining confidence.
The Hawks have a TON of youth - they just arent in the NHL yet and/or are growing as players also. Give it another year and see where guys like Slaggert, Nazar, Korchinski, and of course we still have Levshunov coming.
Bedard is failing the Blackhawks. Dude refuses to backcheck, leaves the zone early, out to pad his stats, cherry picking while his line essentially plays short-handed.
In contrast San Jose has been doing it the right way with Celebrini. Case in point Celebrini is roommates this season with Smith who was the 4th overall pick in 2023 and have another talented young players on the roster with Eklund too. A year from now the likes of Musty, Bystedt, possibly Dickinson, and a couple of others also could spend some of next season up with San Jose. Not to mention Sharks have Askarov too as their potential franchise goalie for the next 10+ years who has started a couple of games this season. Celebrini -18 y/o Smith - 19 y/o Eklund - 22 y/o Musty - 19 y/o Dickinson - 18 y/o Mukhamadullin - 22 y/o Bystedt - 20 y/o Graf - 22 y/o Askarov - 22 y/o Sharks have all the makings to have one of the best young cores in the very near future and that doesn't include if they land a top 3 or 4 pick in the 2025 draft and end up with another young talent like Hagens, Martone, Misa, or Schaefer too.
Clean dude. You've done your research. (But fools will just say you won't get the no.1 overall) and kick and pout like children Hockey fans can be the greatest and saddest all at the same time. Cheers.
The Hawks could have drafted Demidov to play with Bedard and instead drafted a defenseman for the "team". YIKES. Demidov can stickhandle and pass and he's uber talented offensively and creative. Hawks = mismanaged. They weren't even thinking about Bedard with the selection of a defenseman. Demidov could have been his winger for his whole career. Wowzer. How good would Patrick Kane look right now in Chicago? Kane to Bedard for the PPG, oh wait my bad the Blackhawks organization sucks.
😂😂😂 ...oh, youre serious?! 😅 Mtl is performing whats called a "proper rebuild", I know its hard to identify, because its rarely done.. But, even I, a lifelong Habs hater, can see that.
@@kolasillers7776think about it from this perspective bowbum f'd the hawks on bad trades and depleted them of high end draft picks. At the time it hurts BUT it had to happen cause if both were still on the hawks the chances of getting bedard were going to be low. Plus on the time line perspective debrincat was in his prime and by the time we wait for any prospect to develop or hardly any the guy will be thirty by then we will waster his prime years on a team depleted of prospects and a broken development system back then. Hagel was great but we needed more draft capital if we are going to build a winning team Hagel was the best option and we ended up getting 2 first round picks from him adding more draft Capitol which we needed at the time. If you want to point the finger blame bowbum for horrendous asset management and several bad trades he's done
These #1 draft picks are going to teams that are struggling, have struggled, and will continue to struggle until pieces get placed around them, struggling builds character, makes that Champagne taste better through adversety
I think the jury is definitely still out on Bedard!! He was packaged and given that generational talent sticker . He has always been spoon feed his success and your seeing how that hurt his progress . I find he has very low compete and wants to play on the offensive side only . I see him being not a bust but a good NHL player still . Def not a generational level .
Yep it took barky 11 years to get in finals. When he went to Florida they were laughing stock, now they are praised. Theres many examples this is just one.
@@Jooseppi420 same with stamkos in 2008 the lightning were a mess than in 2011 they nearly make the cup finals to everyones surprise and they actually do get there in 2015 along with 2020, 2021 and 2022 and nearly doing so in 2016 and 2018 as well. Or ovi i mean in 2005 my capitals were in such a tough spot but since then they've been one of the most consistent powerhouses in the league and finally getting the cup in 2018
it is simple. the Hawks will have to sacrifice if they want change. give up picks to get real players. dont turn into the Red Wings, the Sens, the Sabres, etc. trade picks to get real players. its simple
After ONE year of Bedard and the Hawks maybe expect to be a Cup contender? It’s gonna take 3-4 more years of tanking and building a young supporting cast of talent…
the issue is that he doesn't have a good team around him. Imagine if he were playing somewhere else like nashville, anaheim, calgary or his hometown vancouver
I know Bedard is young (but the nhl is a young league) and I wish him a long and successful career, but I just don't see it, help or not. He's ends up on his kness in the slightest amount of traffic. He has that wippy-flexy "hockey stick" trick shot thing that goalies are figuring out - but lacks serious power and drive compared to all the young greats he was touted to be like (thru no fault of his own. He cam be dangerous if he plays with other superstars to leave him room, but if he's the focus, not so much. He IS a lot like Kane in that regard.
This is spot on. He is weak on the puck. His skating center of gravity is in a place where he ends up on his heels and can get knocked off the puck. In Juniors he had space. On PP he has space. He's not going to get that in the NHL. It's also frustrating because last year everyone said, "he makes his linemates better, he elevates the team" and now people say, "he's 19, he doesn't have anyone around him." Which is it?
Bedard does not have what previous smallish players had to survive- great skating skills. He reminds me of Pat Falloon, Sharks 1991. Falloon was also hyped to the moon. He lost all confidence in year two & had a terrible career.
The guy that wrote about kane being drafted to a juggernaut team wow so basically the greatest american born player ever benefited on that or the team benefited getting kane Justbask saad an the breadman who benefited on that draft considering kane basically helped both them get massive contracts with how well he fed them
@@MillaQ9999 He wasn’t over hyped. He was an amazing junior level talent…. He’s still going to have a great career most likely. Not generational though.
Juniors,is just that,now he is in the Big time!Generational,was a word,Bedards,play ain’t generational,I just don’t see that fire,grit,he ain’t that fast,he don’t play much in the greasy areas!He looks timid,the big time is here,and Bedard,looks,like the Big boys have already got him read,and he knows it!Chicago,loos in panic mode !For that matter so does the NHL,their golden boy,seems to have lost his luster!Give him time,maybe,but we’re is this individual talent he was suppose to posses?I just don’t see it!All the hoopla,is continuing,by the Chicago and NHL,media,one day they might have to eat CROW!
So just because Bedard as a #1 pick is put on a terrible team, that's failing him? How many #1 picks are put on a kick ass team right away? I can think of 1 example, Patrick Kane after being drafted #1 to the Chicago Blackhawks in 2007, was basically dropped into an ascending juggernaut that had a young Duncan Keith, Brent Seabrook, Jonathan Toews, Patrick Sharp, Dave Bolland, Troy Brouwer, and Dustin Byfuglien. Then they added a prime Marian Hossa. That is an exception.
dude you vancouver fans need to go outside and touch grass. That fanbase has become so annoying. "Celebrini and Bedard will come home". Did that work the same way for Crosby? Mcdavid? Kane? how about literally any franchise building block? No it didn't, I wonder why, just because mack and connor are from the vancouver area, doesn't mean that they are gonna sacrifice their whole career to play for the f*cking Canucks
Jamie McLennan is the biggest believer in Mikheyev there is, I applaud it. Lol. I honestly think it's an overreaction here. Is Bedard struggling this year? Yes. Do they need youth? Not really. They have it. They just aren't NHL ready. You don't force youth onto a team for no reason, unless you want to be Buffalo or Ottawa. What they need is good leadership pieces and to build an identity so when those young pieces are ready they have a good situation to enter into. Their youthful pieces will be there as early as next season. So no need to overreact to this season. This is his 2nd year, dude is 19 for crying out loud. Let the process play out.
He’s in his 2nd year in the league lol. We live in such a microwave world. Everything is right now. It’s going to take 4-5 years to build around him. It always does.
He will get going . He’s too talented but the league better not expand more teams because it’s too watered down. And bettman is bad for the game he’s just a greedy little leprechaun who just wants to expand and it’s not good because there’s no rivalry’s any more, and it’s ruining young talent, and Canada made a big mistake not taking Bedard, sophomore years can also can be the toughest, He will do alright.
When they didn't make him the Captain, that itself was a slap in the face by the organization. The hawks have at least 3 AHL'ers that can play right now in the NHL, bring them over now. Olympics isn't the big dance, check the ratings, people don't give a shit about that. It's all about the damn playoffs
@mosespov9929 When he "was only 18", he scored 61 points in 68 games. That's make him already a well above average NHLer. And yes, the blackhawks are a better team with him than they are without him.
He's not suppose to make this team A LOT better (As people are expecting) at 18 OR 19. Did Kane, Toews, Crosby, McDavid become some type of Stanley Cup Level players at 18 or 19? STOP EXPECTING BEDARD TO BE THIS GOD LEVEL STANLEY CUP CHAMPION LEVEL PLAYER. Just let the kid play.
@@shirleydaley5335 i remember when blackhawks were a Stanley Cup team with Toews, Kane, Hossa, Keith, Seabrook and Crawford too. Now they're just a laughing stock of NHL.
Bedard is the problem. His own problem. He needs to grow up. Fast. I'm sick of seeing his hissy fits on the ice and bench. He seems to love shooting at the goalies instead of around them. He passes too much instead of shooting. I'm sick of hearing about him. Dach was a nothing player and all hype right from the beginning and I couldn't wait for the Hawks to get rid of him. Give Bedard one more season and if there's no progress then get rid of him also. They can probably get 2 or 3 really good players for him.
@@ND_22_6_SOCCER It's because you play Soccer. Let me type nice & slow so you can sit at the adult table & figure this out : Bedard plays 3 minutes a game on the Power Play. Plus Minus is not a factor on the Power Play. If Bedard did not play on the Power Play- they would be replaced with Even Strength Shifts. Given Bedard's horrible Plus Minus numbers- more even strength shifts would have plunged his Plus Minus well past the -13 he has now. Same for last year- Bedard might have been -60 last year if the Chicago brass wasnt hiding him on the Power Play.
....You realize its his SECOND season, right? You dont just magically go from having a first overall pick to being.. whatever yall would consider to be acceptable?
@@theScotian24 But, for those 2 years they’ve been juggling with him so drastically and dropping so many balls from said “juggle.” The organization is actually making it more difficult for him to play to his full potential. He has always had an element of consistency before the NHL. This organization is doing anything but providing him with consistency. THAT is why I say they are failing him. And that is why he should seriously consider other options. He’s better than this and isn’t getting any chances to develop his skills with the incompetence he is surrounded by.
Dude get in touch with reality, Chicago is gonna be nasty in a couple years, if he left now, he has absolutely no chance of being a part of an actual dynasty, he might win 1 cup max, because that's how players careers turn out when they become NHL hobos, you never find consistent success, and also a team would have no cap space to surround him with talent after the cup win. If he did what you suggested it wouldn't be smart it would make him the dumbest mega-talent in the history of the NHL. There is a reason that aside from Gretzky, all the generational talents stick with one team. Also incompetent organization? Yeah Stan Bowman was pretty damn bad, but since his departure, Chicago has made mostly the best possible moves, I mean getting Nazar at 13th is looking like a steal. conclusion: shut the hell up
@@ML-my8qq Bedard is from Vancouver, the Canucks were his favourite team growing up so a lot of Canuck fans think he's signing there once he stops being a restricted free agent.
Yes very badly kd got rid of all their old dudes who know Chicago know how to play and most importantly know how to win for a bunch of old dudes who haven’t got a clue how to win on top of that 98 dangles the brakes off of every team and when he doesn’t score 15 goals a night they say oh he’s not producing like he’s supposed to. Friggen 19 year old kid with no team and gm who releases Jonathan mf toews and puts Nick foligno as captain. Why?! Just so frustrating. TOMMY HAWK DOESNT EVEN BANG A DRUM ANYMORE FOR PETES SAKE.
This is not a ONE man player team LOL. shut up. It takes a young core to win. I love the Hawks and Bedard. I just want him to have fun until the other core players needed to come up and start playing seriously. I actually thought we would be bottom feeders at the start of the year. I actually want a top 3 pick, 3 years in a row. I knew we wouldn't make the playoffs either way. Rebuilding entirely new takes time.
I've been a Hawks fan for over 50 years and am sick of hearing about Bedatd. He's all offense. Centers are the first to help on D if there's a turnover in the O zone and the wingers are forechecking. Bedard should be in the AHL, honing his skills and gaining confidence.

100% but they're only roomies on the road. Celebrini is living with Jumbo and Smith lives with Patty. You've gotta be frikin excited about that!!!

@@billytessio6326 Quinn Hughes is a New Jersey Devil in the summer of 2027. So maybe watch that first. 😏
He needs to demand a trade sooner rather than later.
@@ML-my8qq Bedard is from Vancouver, the Canucks were his favourite team growing up so a lot of Canuck fans think he's signing there once he stops being a restricted free agent.
In 6 years Vancouver won’t even have a team.
Yes very badly kd got rid of all their old dudes who know Chicago know how to play and most importantly know how to win for a bunch of old dudes who haven’t got a clue how to win on top of that 98 dangles the brakes off of every team and when he doesn’t score 15 goals a night they say oh he’s not producing like he’s supposed to. Friggen 19 year old kid with no team and gm who releases Jonathan mf toews and puts Nick foligno as captain. Why?! Just so frustrating.
TOMMY HAWK DOESNT EVEN BANG A DRUM ANYMORE FOR PETES SAKE.
He’s Playing for the Canucks
Bedard is failing the Blachawks 😭😭😭😭
This is not a ONE man player team LOL. shut up. It takes a young core to win. I love the Hawks and Bedard. I just want him to have fun until the other core players needed to come up and start playing seriously. I actually thought we would be bottom feeders at the start of the year. I actually want a top 3 pick, 3 years in a row. I knew we wouldn't make the playoffs either way. Rebuilding entirely new takes time.
Yeah ok 😂. He’s their number 1 point producer and has been for 2 years yet HE is the problem with the hawks? You take the stupid cake, buddy
Come home to the Canucks.
Canucks should trade Peterson for Bedard!
imagine petterson and bedard on the same line though
Oilers need to trade Draisaitl for Bedard and put him on the second line
Never would happen
Yes they are. What a waste of generational talent. Shame on them!!!
Dude its the second season, it took years for the crosby led peguins to be successful.
@@odyssey9334 they went to the final in only his 3rd season that isn't years lol and won the cup the yr after
@@ethanparker7900 sure okay downplay what can happen in that time. Who was on that team smart guy?
he wants to play in vancouver 😂
