We are officially 20% into the season, and it’s great time to check in on our upcoming talent development. Currently the second leading rookie scorer (Bedard 9, Rossi 6) and third in points (Bedard 14, Cooley 12, Rossi 10).
Assuming his pace continues, that would put him at 30 goals and 50pts on the season. He has more than passed the “eye test” IMO and very well develop into an elite 1C. If the #1/#2 left wingers were performing to contract minimum standards, you really wonder if he would t be competing with Bedard for a Calder.
Amazing development from the young man, in spite of the many that we’re all to willing to call him a bust last year. Exciting to think what his ceiling will look like as we exit cap hell.

I have absolutely loved watching him come into his own this year, he has already surpassed what I expected. He doesn’t look out of place at all on the 1st line and that’s incredible! Assuming he continues to grow his game, he will be a serious force on the ice for years to come.
he is def the 1C of the future. hopefully we can get a beefy RW with a nice shot for that top line once we have some cap space. someone like Nichuskin with a nice shot and good size
