We've known since before the draft process that Bedard was tough and dedicated to hockey, but this is more than anyone could have expected, and if he returns to the ice soon it would garner him major respect around the NHL.
In 39 games this year, Bedard has tallied 15 goals and 33 points, and while the team around him has been terrible, he's done his best to be the star the organization expected, and if he returns this quickly, it will be a major boost for him and the team.
