Get your hockey gear now! bit.ly/3YGvH2S Connor Bedard is the most highly touted draft prospect since Connor McDavid. However, is all the buzz warranted? How good will he be? Could he be the next Gretzky? Let’s dive in and find out!

Those criticisms are a bit unfair. Bedard isn't the strongest player, but he is strong for someone his size. He packs more grit than McDavid, I saw him knock opponents down actually. He's not the greatest defensively, but he's good for someone his size and limited reach.

Yup he can be gritty and physical when he's in the mood. You'll see him cheat for offense and linger around in his own end, waiting for the puck to come to him. But I feel like all superstars do that to some extent 😂 he's always gonna get unfairly criticized because he's unfairly good!

@@Zaghzackio I thought Bedard might get passed over due to lack of size, but then I saw him handle bigger guys, even better than McDavid did. (Besides, Crosby is only an inch taller).

He was born in 2005 lol.

He's still 17...

lol, they say this every 5-10 years about the new guy they want to market and sell. I highly doubt he will even be close to Gretzky, Crosby or even Mcdavid. I think he is overrated.
