Here's what will happen with Bedard. He'll score a zillion points (but get scored on constantly as well), get signed to a massive contract, that contract will put the Hawks in cap hell, and they'll never sniff a cup. Same as McDavid and Hughes before him.
I know this will sound absolutely crazy to the kids but an 85-90 point center who plays correctly is better, and cheaper, than a 150 point player that is only effective in the offensive zone.
