I have had the opportunity to watch Bedard live a few times, and what I think he has that I have never seen before in a player is the absolute deception in his shot. Seen it several times where he is skating down the ice with the puck and everyone in the rink is thinking pass, or that there is no option of a shot, and bang top shelf off of his back foot. Wrong stride, puck in the complete wrong position on his stick, no indication whatsoever of a shot. I've seen several goalies stand there as the puck snaps over their shoulder and not even flinch.
THAT sets him apart by a mile.
