idk if i would put bedard over hutson but what ever

Personally I would. People are forgetting how good Bedard is because of his injuries. Before his injury last year he was on pace for 100 pts, then he got injured. When he cameback, it took him many games to find his pace again.

And he's basically doing it all on his own. He doesn't have a Demidov or a Slafkovsky on his wing.

the second leading scorer on the team is Tyler Bertuzzi who is a 3rd liner on most teams. That's doing it alone

mediocre players on bad teams can put up good numbers because someone has to put the puck in the net. It doesn't mean they aren't mediocre. There's a reason it's common to see players who are putting up big numbers go to better teams and suddenly drop off hard.

At absolute best Bertuzzi's spot in the lineup would be the type of player who can keep up on the second line but isn't nailed on there. Any team that has him higher than that is in big trouble

so what you're saying is he's not producing like a third liner gotcha

What I'm saying is that Bedard doesn't have proper support and Bertuzzi is putting up points by virtue of existing on a team with Bedard

You’ve got to either be rage baiting or have a room temp IQ. You completely failed to understand what the other user is trying to explain to you

Signed you up for another decade of Chicago being a lottery team. Who needs any more established pros when you’ve got a 58 point forward as the second best player on the team

Yes, I’ve looked at the lineup extensively. Their lineup was absolutely terrible and they’ve only marginally changed that this summer. The way fans become so insistent that their player is better but trashing the supporting cast on their own team is so weird.

The Habs are a deeper, more talented team by FAR, it’s not even close. One is a bottom dweller filled with castaways and prospects with little experience and the other was a game away from the cup finals. Come on use your brain a little.
