Bedard will be the centre of attention this weekend in Buffalo but the NHL combine won’t alter the status of the undisputed No. 1 draft prospect.
“You could tell from an early age that he was going to be good,” Kerfoot said. “Every summer you come back to the skate and he’s even better. Especially that shot. For a young kid, he had the best shot on the ice. He’s a complete player. And a really good kid.”
It’s not like Bedard has to participate in the combine. He’s just being a good hockey player. The outcome won’t change who theJack Eichel outperformed McDavid across the board in 2015. McDavid made the top 10 in only one category — fifth place in left-side agility — of the 10 measured. It didn’t change how Edmonton thought.
So it won’t matter how Bedard performs. There isn’t a GM who would take Sweden’s Leo Carlsson, or fellow Canadian Adam Fantilli — deemed to be the next best players — ahead of Bedard.
