    An interesting thing to note to add would be that he's never been on record saying anything remotely egotistical or toxic about having to go to a "rebuilding" situation. While simultaneously you have players like Gauthier and McGroarty publicly coming out and saying they weren't going to play for the teams that drafted them. While they're both solid players, both are not on Bedard's level, he also has better overall character than those 2 as well. As a Hawks fan, I'm very optimistic he has the right attitude and wants to build a legacy with the franchise that drafted him. He looks up to Crosby a lot, who's built a HOF legacy with the Pens.. Just some food for thought.

    As a Capitals fan, I'm really excited that on top of our current group of players, we have Leonard and Cristall coming up next season to join the team (likely meaning that Mangiapane is gone after this season).
    If Strome, McMichael, Protas, Dubois, Roy, Chychrun, Sandin, and Fehervary continue to be solid players, and guys like Miroshnichenko, Leonard, Cristall, Parascak, Hutson, etc. mostly pan out (and maybe even Lapierre), the Capitals will be able to achieve the extremely difficult feat of retooling and staying a good team during Ovechkin's last season (next season), and beyond, without ever having to tank for a lottery pick. We just need to figure out our goalie situation long term, and we need to see if we can keep Chychrun.
    It's really difficult to do this. Almost all of the top teams had to go through some rough years to get a good young core, and the Capitals might manage to do it with just a #8 overall pick (Leonard) after one bad (but not horrible) season, and bouncing right back into the playoffs the following season.

    @conners3323 Місяць тому

    As a hawks fan this is a really good assessment of what is going on/where we are in the rebuild. No one on the other team is concerned with anyone but Bedard and you can see bedard adjusting his game to that fact. He has been generating a lot of rush chance and seems to be consciously prioritizing that because if he isn’t the one making the zone entry the opponent is making sure he has no space. On the few occasions he does get some space his team mates aren’t good enough to be in the position to get him the puck. He isn’t getting the chance to shoot as often as you would like because of this and is falling back on his playmaking to compensate. Ultimately, we still need more elite forward talent before we can compete. Frank Nazar has promise and has been producing very well in the AHL, but the rest of or forward prospect pool we have a lot of Middle 6 type prospects.
    The good news? We will very likely be finding that top6/first line forward prospect in this years draft. With the excess of middle six prospects we have the ability to trade our way to top 6 help in the next few seasons. And Chicago seems to be a attractive FA destination due to the history/facilities and city.
    We have a lot of advantages as a historic team in a major market, that other franchises would kill for. We should not let those go to waste, but I think we also need to be realistic with this rebuild timeline. They were never going to be a cup contender in year 3 of a full rebuild. Next year we should at least be setting a goal for playoffs and that is something to look forward to

I'm sure he is frustrated, who wouldn't be?? no one is happy after a loss...

    Hawks fan here! Bedard is truly all we have. Coaching is also imo holding him back too. It’s hard to produce in hockey by yourself. It’s truly a team sport. Bedard can’t create separation when he always has to have the puck. I understand the frustration but having guys like Bertuzzi and Teuvo back are nice but it’s not guys that are like well we have this three headed monster on the ice for a line that we have to defend against. When it’s literally all Bedard, it’s hard. Not saying we have scrubs but it’s nothing to lose sleep over. I like our prospect pool, think it’s one of the best in the league. But this team is still a few years away from even making the playoffs.

    The Hawks need a coaching change. I've never seen a team when on defense they collapse so much yet never cover anyone, free shoots from the point all game long and never clear the crease. Puck watching, puck chasing, bad passing and why the hell is Bedard on the point on the power play?! He needs to be in the high scoring areas where his shoot is most effective, not down low as he's not a greasy goal scorer. So many times he's in the offense zone with or with out the puck a skates right to a teammate who either has the puck them self's or he should be passing too. The system is not bad it's horrible.

    Part of the reason the Kings were able to rebuild so quickly was some good fortune. A couple of times they got top 5 picks jumping ahead of some awful teams. Also, the fact that Anze Kopitar still plays at a high level. Because Villardi, Dubois, and Trucotte (somewhat) hasn’t panned out. If Kopitar had regressed passed 34 as expected, Kings would be a completely different team. Forcing Byfield or Turcotte to play 1C or 2C right out of the gate.

    Maybe Bedard can take inspiration from that player who people called a generational talent, but only got to taste playoff hockey ONCE with his team during his first SIX years in the league.
    After that, said team not only became a mainstay of the playoffs for ages but might also have won a "few' cups if memory serves...
    The kid was a Québecois named Mario or something, I think... (:
    (not to be confused with Mario "Forever Young" Armia).
    Who the kid was isn't important; I mean, it's not like he became known as the most talented hockey player of all time, even by the Great One's own admission, or some shit like that :P
    ...
    All jokes aside, hockey players are smart kids nowadays, Bedard knows full well that it will be a long rebuild. It doesn't mean that he won't say it like it is in the meantime.
    I don't think it is "impatience" toward the rebuilding process of his team, it's just wanting to win like any of his peers in the league, and saying what any other player top player and leader would say, no?
    Still, I think the Blackhawks should give his line better support (like a Toffoli or two), have proven 2 way center guy on a second line (e.g. a Danault type guy) to help remove some of the pressure on the first line, etc.
    Otherwise the kid might not have a body anymore in 5 years...
    I am the farthest thing from a Hawks fan that one can be (they should rot for a long long time imho; no need to elaborate as to why I don't think), but any ACTUAL fan of the SPORT of hockey should wish success for the future star players of this league in general; It's them that will keep our sport alive for yet another generation.

      I mean wtf are you even referring to?
      Have you seen what the video is about? It's about the difficulties, for star players in particular, to stay patient during a rebuild. That's the point I made : if FREAKING LEMIEUX managed to be patient playing for a rebuilding team, no other player in similar shoes should get over themselves (doesn't mean it's not normal to be frustrated; all hockey players would).
