He will be drafted in 3 years, it's not like it's some crazy decades away prediction and there are plenty of people hyping the kid because of his on-ice performance, off-ice demeanor, statistics, accolades, testimonials etc. If people said Bedard was legit at 14 would you have the same stance? Plenty of people, myself included, were touting Bedard as the next major player after McD when he was 13/14 and low and behold here we are. Some players are that good. Dupont is.

My boss's son played against Bedard from 12-15 yo. He would constantly tell me to look at Bedard's stats even when he was 12, and you could see it there. His eye test, would always tell me he was special, and was almost a sure thing to be make something out of hockey. There's the key word. MAKE SOMETHING OUT OF HOCKEY, not necessarily NHL.
Regardless, this kid sounds like alot of fun, and tons of potential
