Bedard has exhibited both humility and professionalism when interacting with the media. His statements emphasize his determination to secure a roster spot and be a part of the team, a goal that most, if not all, believe he is poised to achieve, given his track record as a former Regina Pats forward.
In recent commercials, Sherwood Hockey, a prominent hockey stick manufacturer, proudly showcased a fully attired Connor Bedard donning the Blackhawks uniform. This marks the first time the public has glimpsed him in such attire, generating significant excitement.
Expectations for this young athlete are notably high, with many anticipating that he will emerge as a central figure in the NHL in the years to come. Some even speculate that he might achieve over 100 points in the upcoming season. However, I find this prediction challenging to believe, considering the Blackhawks are presently in a rebuilding phase, focused on developing a new core.
Anticipating an exceptional season, Bedard is poised to contend for the Calder Trophy. It is important to acknowledge that the team is concurrently engaged in reshaping the roster to usher in a new era for the Blackhawks.
