Bedard tries to squeeze through multiple players and then tries to gather the puck while slightly bent over for a moment, and that was a bad rookie mistake because right then Smith stood him up.

I don't think Perry is bad guy, no matter how mean and dirty he is on the ice, I don't think that necessarily makes him a bad person off it. That said, just seems strange you'd go with a guy who had an on-ice rep like that to mentor kids like Connor Bedard and Kevin Korchinski.
