Conor Bedard had 28 points in 15 games last year. He only has 13 points in 17 games this year.
If I'm not mistaken, all of the Flames' CHL prospects except Ciona, Kerins and Beck have lower production than last year. Beck didn't play last year.

I watch Connor frequently being here in Regina.
He is unreal when he has the puck, but I find the games I've watched this season, he has been cheating a lot, and his play without the puck is disengaged. I would venture to say, he plays like he almost expects the play to come to him, and doesn't go after it as he used to.
He also tends to shy away from physicality too, which might be understandable given he is slightly smaller. Next year hopefully he finds that next gear.
