@JT_Evans97 @OviClapBomb Nick Lardis is not the “elite winger” this team needs. He’s having a great year but it’s his 4th season in the OHL

@BedardforCalder @BenPopeCST Trade one of the few players on this team that’s actually good? What’s a 3rd rounder in 2026 going to do for this team in the next 3 years?

@JHunt496734 @spittinchiclets And that's his fault? He has equal production to Auston Matthews so far in his career while playing on a way worse team. Seems pretty good to me

@styr0foamcup @iLoveEA_Sports @spittinchiclets I know specifically you haven’t but most of those talking about Bedard’s bad defense bring up Celebrini as a great 2 way player for a rookie

@JoeMichele93153 @spittinchiclets I’m telling you what I expected him to be. Yet people are ragging on him because he isn’t Patrice Bergeron

@styr0foamcup @iLoveEA_Sports @spittinchiclets Yeah you’re right, I guess one guy is terrible defensively and the other is good because of a -4 difference

@JoeMichele93153 @spittinchiclets I expect him to be the skilled and offensively creative player he was touted to be. Not a defensive weapon when going up against every team's top line while playing with bottom 6 linemates.

@styr0foamcup @iLoveEA_Sports @spittinchiclets Bedard was a -25 after game 43 of his career. Celebrini -21. So I'll ask you again, are they both terrible defensively? I guess they must be

@Cooking_heaters @styr0foamcup @spittinchiclets Yes ur right. He is also a #1 center going up against other teams' top lines game in and game out. With way below average linemates, at 19 years old.

@styr0foamcup @iLoveEA_Sports @spittinchiclets Celebrini's touted as a good 2 way player for a rookie and he's -21 while Bedard is -23. Since you love this stat, what do you think? Are they both terrible defensively then?

@styr0foamcup @iLoveEA_Sports @spittinchiclets Using +/- to talk about a guy’s defensive game completely erases any credibility your opinion has

@KickerKark @spittinchiclets He was never hyped up for his defense. All anyone can talk about was his shot and his offensive creativity. Which is as advertised. If he was playing on a better team, his defensive deficiencies wouldn’t be as exposed as they are

@styr0foamcup @spittinchiclets A 19 year old known for his skill, shot and offensive creativity is not good defensively? Color me shocked. That’s not his game genius. Does he need to be better without the puck? Of course. But this team has way bigger problems

@Cooking_heaters @styr0foamcup @spittinchiclets This team has way bigger issues than Bedard’s defensive play

@KickerKark @spittinchiclets Hes getting called out way more often than he’s getting praised. Equal production to Matthews and better than MacKinnon in his career. While playing on a dog shit team. Yet he’s getting dragged on both ESPN/TNT in the last few days for lazy defense. His job is to produce offense

@PartPhil @spittinchiclets KD needs to get them in the playoff hunt next year. They’ll pick top 3 in this coming draft and then they should never pick that high again. Go out and try to win

@styr0foamcup @spittinchiclets Right so lets micro-analyze every single thing he does because analysts/media wrongly compared him to guys who will go down as top 5 to ever play the sport. Bedard has no one to play with and is producing at the same rate as Matthews and better than Mackinnon so far in his career

@BizNasty2point0 Not sure why everyone's going nuts. What you said was all true. But he's also the only offensive option on a dogshit team and needs to take risks that may lead to turnovers

@realBillWirtz What's the highest you'd give each guy?
