He will see a mentor well-versed in the unique crucible Bedard — born two weeks before Crosby arrived in Pittsburgh and himself chosen No.
“I think he’s a guy that’s more than ready at this point,” Crosby said.

“He’s such a good role model for everyone, the way he carries himself on and off the ice,” Bedard said.
