who is this guy

I'll give him a look later. But three scouts texted me and said the equivalent of lol yikes...

Postby **MalkinIsMyHomeboy** » Wed Jun 28, 2023 8:46 pm

of course they’re interviewing Bedard during the pick so there’s absolutely no analysis

I was making fun of his name earlier this evening. Buh.

I'm disappointed, which is dumb as I don't know **** about any of these guys really.

This has "Chris Pryor's kid" written all over it.

Time to clean out the scouting department IMO

Best I could dig up.

Every draft ranking list I read this week had him in the top 10-11.

Postby **RonnieFranchise** » Wed Jun 28, 2023 8:52 pm

Seems to be a wide variety of opinions on him. Some had him as a top 10 caliber pick.

Not that I know anything about these prospects, let alone the people who evaluate them other than mikey.

If he has a wicked release I guess you can coach up the rest of his shortcomings, minus maybe some size.

Postby **MalkinIsMyHomeboy** » Wed Jun 28, 2023 8:53 pm

so he’s what…best case Jordan Staal, probable case Brandon Sutter?

Did Perrault tank his interviews or something???

We had him 22. A few scouts have told me he's not a 1st rounder for them.

I think we'll regret this order: Yager then Wood...

r/penguins seems to love the pick, which is never a good thing.

Nobody knows anything, including the same scouts that have provided us with *gestures broadly*

A+ gif. Forgot all about that video

From what I see, this dude ain't a NHL center and should start to 'learn' the wing

But I'll yield to someone that knows what they are talking about

Postby **MalkinIsMyHomeboy** » Wed Jun 28, 2023 9:17 pm

I’ve seen enough shitty decisions in drafts of all leagues to know that no one knows. It’s up to the kid and the coaching staff

We don't really have any of those here

DK had a write up about him a week or so ago. Sounds like they have been pretty high on him. I'll have to defer to experts because I don't know squat
