CALE MAKAR: Yeah, I mean, on the ice, he's a pretty incredible player. You can tell just, like, his stickhandling and his shot is so smooth. And it's going to be fun to watch in actual gameplay and stuff.

In addition to Bedard's stick-handling skills and his shot, Makar gave him high marks for the whole toolset Bedard possesses. He expressed his excitement for Bedard to play in the league this season.
There is no doubt that Makar's compliment is a big deal, because he has been considered to be one of the best defensemen in the current NHL, having won the Norris Trophy.
Seeing these two compete against each other will be an amazing experience.
