Two this are true at once. This team sucks. And coaching is making them suck worse

Honest question. Do we see Bedard as a C in this league or a winger? He does amazing things but his 200’ and D game are non existant and he can’t win faceoffs.

Is it just me or has Bedard slowly abandoned his defensive play as the season has gone on?

Center of course. It's not like he's struggling.
Faceoffs will come over time. Young centers usually struggle with faceoffs. McDavid was putrid at them when he came into the league.
Bedard is pretty good defensively. He'll never be Selke level, but that's not his game. I think as the season goes on, and the team continues to be ass, he's probably taken the foot off the gas regarding his defensive responsibilities. But once the games start to matter, I think he'll kick into high gear.

The #1 issue with young, YOUNG teams is consistency. Everybody on this site should know it.
If people would watch this season as if it was an extented preseason, annoyance and rrustration would decreased.

Bedard is a center. He understands how to be on the right side of the puck. His effort in his own zone isn’t consistent. But I have no questions about what he is long term.
Center is probably the hardest role in hockey.

Yeah goalie is pretty hard too. I think center is the hardest skater role for sure. I think it’s harder than goalie too, but I think goalie has the most pressure (obviously).
