There's Already a Big Issue With Bedard in the Blackhawks Organization
A rookie player in the NHL is going to face challenges, and Connor Bedard is no exception.
As a 1st line center, he plays for a team that finished near the bottom in the NHL season 2022-2023.
1. Awful turnover attempting to be fancy
2. The back check then leaves his assignment wide open in front of the net and he decides to skate around in a circle. As a Center, play center.
His Defense is a major issue that needs to be addressed..
The team has struggled defensively due to a poor blueline, but that should not stop Bedard from helping.
Nevertheless, recent footage shows that Bedard has not been up to par in terms of his defensive duties.
A center has to be responsible on both sides of the ice, distribute pucks, make players, and be a dynamic player on ice, as Bedard has been.
However, he still has some shortcomings in the NHL, which he needs to work on.
A big mistake he makes in the video is attempting to make a fancy play instead of playing practical, resulting in a turnover and a missed backcheck.
It is imperative that Luke Richardson steps in and corrects the course immediately.
