Can Blackhawks land Connor Bedard?; Top 5 draft options
1. Connor Bedard, C, WHL
Bedard has become the crown jewel of the 2023 NHL Draft class, exemplifying a generational skillset throughout his time coming up. The North Vancouver native put the hockey world on watch after leading Canada to a world junior hockey title. Behind nine goals and 14 assists in seven games at this year鈥檚 world juniors, Bedard set a Canadian record for points and assists in a single tournament. The 5-foot-10, 185-pound center has showcased an impressive shot and would quickly enter the league as an impact player with his individual skillset and high IQ. After playing with the Canadian prospect during a camp this past summer, Kane even commented on just how special he thinks Bedard is.
“I think everyone’s kind of wondering how is he going to do at the next level, how’s he going to be,” . “From what I saw, I think it’s all right there, he’s going to be special.”
CONNOR BEDARD SENDS CANADA TO THE SEMIS!
