Former scout is certain Connor Bedard won't be drafted first overall in 2023
Former Montreal Canadiens scout Grant McCagg was on Tony Marinaro's Sick Podcast.
McCagg shared a very unpopular opinion that young player Connor Bedard would not be the first pick in the upcoming draft.
«�This is August. There were several guys, like Nolan Patrick, Angelo Esposito or Shane Wright, who were described as consensus picks in August, but didn't get selected first. No recruiter has already made their decision this early in the year. It's mostly something you see on social media.�»
The difference is that Bedard is identified as a generational player compared to Patrick, Esposito or Wright.
Now McCagg has added a layer:
«�There has never been a winger measuring 5'9 who was chosen first overall. As talented as he is, Bedard is still very small. With Canada, he always plays on the wing. If he's such a good center, why doesn't he play that position with the national team like Sidney Crosby did? Probably because that's where he's going to play in the NHL!�»
