Bedard tallied up the most goals, assists, shots and points as a Canadian to ever partake in the World Juniors, as well as most points in tournament history, surpassing NHL legend Peter Forsberg.
Bedard has dominated so much throughout the past several months that he's being compared to former first overall pick, and arguably the best player in the world, Connor McDavid. That is quite the bold comparison as Bedard is projected to go first overall, and Oilers fans all know what a first overall bust can very well look like (cough, Nail Yakupov).
Connor McDavid was recently questioned on the rookie phenom, and was asked what knowledge could #97 give to Bedard? McDavid had the perfect answer:
''He certainly seems like he know what he's doing. He doesn't need to hear from me''.
