Lmfao at Bedard saying he doesn’t what team he’s going to 😂. He’s knows he’s going to Chicago. It’s written in stone.

Going to be great to watch him develop and thrive over the next decade or more, its a great time to be a hockey fan right now with all the talent in and coming into the league!

Seeing him live with the Pats was special man. I will never forget a goal where he was flying mid air from a trip across the crease and chopped a bouncing puck (MIS AIR IN SUPERMAN FORM) into the top shelf The kid is special

In the recent past, there were doubts whether Nate MacKinnon (Colorado was milling over choosing Denver boy Seth Jones who eventually dropped to No. 4 Nashville), Auston Matthews (Leafs were debating whether to choose Patrik Laine) and Shane Wright (who dropped to No. 4 Seattle while Montreal grabbed Slafkovsky instead) would be chosen No. 1 overall. It’s safe to predict Chicago will select Connor Bedard unless the Ducks shock the world by trading up by giving the Blackhawks Fantelli!

I got my official game pucks on display every year. I don’t have every team but I got my fav top teams. This year Toronto (as always) and for the wild card the Chicago blackhawks. The two interesting teams I am going to watch this year mainly. Don’t worry I’ll be staying up late to watch some Vegas and kings still. Share the love!

This kid has a wicked shot and that will be his bread and butter , he moves well in the zone and is a very good skater. He shoots his shot when other players would wait for a better opportunity to let it go . His shot reminds me of cole caufields . Shoots at angles that shouldn’t go in and with the toe-drag it’s very deceptive to goalies and shot -blockers. This is going to be exciting 👍

@@JHockeyFanHonestly his wrist shot is even better which is crazy considering the size difference. Doesn't have the monster slapshot/one timer although I wouldn't put it past him to develop one. He would probably have to change the flex on his stick because he uses a really low flex number.
