In his second season in the NHL, the Chicago Blackhawks expect a huge step forward from Connor Bedard.
The Chicago Blackhawks received a huge gift when they selected Connor Bedard with the first overall pick of the 2023 NHL Draft. After a dynastic run in the 2010's, the Blackhawks have languished in obscurity. But then they drafted one of the most promising players to enter the league since Connor McDavid.
Heading into year two, the expectations are only rising for the next NHL superstar. The first expectation is a jump in scoring. The team made a bevy of moves to insulate Bedard, bringing in veteran wingers Teuvo Teravainen and Tyler Bertuzzi and defenders Alec Martinez and T.J. Brodie. The team is not ready to contend in the postseason yet, but they should be vastly improved as a team and Bedard should benefit from this.
Which means the Blackhawks should expect a 30-goal and 80-point season from their best player. If healthy, that should be no problem for the 19-year-old. Bertuzzi, Teravainen, or Hall are all better finishers than either of Bedard's linemates last season, which should only help increase his number of assists in 2024.
