The upcoming 2023 NHL Entry Draft has projected Connor Bedard as the top pick, drawing comparisons to Connor McDavid's impressive skills and abilities.
With his outstanding performance of over 140 points in the past season, Bedard is highly sought after as a franchise center by every team.
Connor Bedard on his combine interview with Chicago this week: "I met them last summer once and then to see them again here was good. We had some conversations with them, of course. I enjoyed that, getting to know them and what not. It was good, I had fun with it." #Blackhawks
Recently, Bedard had an interview with the Chicago Blackhawks staff, and it seemed they were already familiar with him.
He expressed his pleasure at connecting with them again after having the opportunity to speak with them last summer.
This round of interviews appeared to be more of a chance to build a better understanding of each other.
It leaves one wondering if Bedard knew of Chicago's interest last year.
