"There's no difference between guys on teams; you're all in this together." - Connor Bedard

Full quote:

"I think it's pretty unfair for you to say about rosters and talking about players and whatnot. For me, going to Regina, I had a lot of good
players with me and I don't think I was turning the franchise around. We were all trying to win games together. Wherever I end up, if I'm playing in the NHL, it'll be the same thing. There's no difference between guys on teams; you're all in this together. So I don't think I
would think (about] it at all like that.»
