I agree, and it will be interesting to see the 2 teams compared over the course of their respective rebuilds, it certainly looks like SJ is trending better at the moment but both teams are truly awful right now.
Celebrini, less hyped than Bedard, surpassed not just his rookie season but his second season as well, IMO and while both were heavy minus players, Celebrini looks like a true #1 Center in the making and Bedard is starting to look like a player that cant handle that position, and cant even win a faceoff.
Im curious to see if Bedard's game changes at all under a new coach, though like you this hire doesnt inspire much.
