But Cristall fell because he was felt to be a product of Bedard. Time will tell on that one. But Chicago passed on him early in the 2nd also. Even though he had played with Bedard his whole life.

Bedard himself said that he thought Cristall was the most skilled player in the draft. He was probably being modest, but he still considered Cristall to be above everyone else. Being good buddies probably helps.
