Obviously he needs to work on his shot and his defense but I'm not sure why everyone always just assumes development is linear. MacKinnon only had 38 points in his sophomore season, and then just 52 and 53 the two seasons after that. Many people were calling him a bust. Since then, he has 729 points in 516 games.

Bedard looks extremely underwhelming considering the expectations. I was more impressed with Mackinnon even though he got a lot less opportunity initially. Bedard doesn't look like he can carry the team at all, they even tried him on the wing already.
