Managing Expectations
There's no denying Bedard's potential to become an NHL superstar, but let's not get ahead of ourselves by comparing the 18-year-old to a prime McDavid.

Hawks fans, in particular, should avoid putting too much pressure on Bedard, giving him the space he needs to develop into the superstar he's meant to be.
