Connor Bedard, who took home a boatload of individual honours in 2022-23, has drawn comparisons to the game’s generational talents, including Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid
With minor hockey tryouts just around the corner, Bedard – the projected No. 1 pick at next week’s NHL draft, but at the time simply a youngster with big dreams – begrudgingly agreed to his family’s Hawaiian vacation.
“He was flying around,” Tom Bedard said in an interview with The Canadian Press. “We eventually got our beach time. It was a fun trip … once he chilled a little.”Connor Bedard, the 17-year-old Regina Pats phenom who has turned heads since he was 11 and tore the Western Hockey League to pieces this season with 143 points in 57 games, is as safe a bet as possible to be selected No. 1 by the Chicago Blackhawks at the NHL draft in Nashville on Wednesday.
By the time the holiday tournament was over, there was little doubt which player would be called first in June, and it’s not like Fantilli had regressed. “I think he was surprised at the level of the intensity,” Marr said. “Next game, you could see he had a completely different approach.” “He’s been at this for a long time,” said Matteo Mann, a defenceman in this year’s class. “Really far along in the development of his physical attributes.”
