The statement I quoted did compare him directly to Bedard, but I'm sure nobody would seriously have the same expectations of those two players. Not trying to be critical, just trying to not get too over-hyped about him, because the extra years mean that he is developmentally ahead of most of the other top rookies.
That being said, I still think that last night's goal was very Iginla-esque.
