[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 1905661, member: 746137"] Hockey is a tough guy sport in any event, but this article from the Athletic filled in some of the details [URL unfurl="true"]https://theathletic.com/4362649/2023/03/30/connor-bedard-nhl-draft-film/[/URL] It's behind a paywall, but essentially Bedard's style has been to do a lot of leaking out on odd-man rushes which centermen's defensive responsibilities often don't allow them to do. In the WHL you can get away with it. So it's not solely a question of can he or can't he play center, it's also a question if his game would be more natural and flourish more in a "less valuable" role. Being a goal-sniping wing hasn't done any harm to Alex Ovechkin has it? And that's the kind of shot Bedard is reputed to have. [/QUOTE]
