He might not be better than them at 18… but if he lives up to hype then might not be crazy for them to be better than them at 19/20.
I have no doubt that he will be better than both of them likely by the time he is done his ELC but we are talking about the best line in hockey and outside our goalie the reason the team won 50 games 111pts and those 3 were boasting a ridiculous +/-

Maybe Bedard, Laine and Johnny all go for 40 and ppg-100+ point players in gear 1 but I wouldn’t make that bet. I absolutely would make the bet if the Jackets get Bedard he will be the best player Johnny plays in with eventually but at 18 seems like a stretch when his linemates last year are considered superstars.
