Controvery arises as Connor Bedard is billed 1 in Fantasy Drafts
In the 2023 NHL Entry Draft, Connor Bedard was drafted first overall as the top prospect. He was chosen over Leo Carlsson, Matvei Michkov, and Adam Fantilli.
With Fantasy Hockey leagues gearing up for another season, Yahoo, Fantrax, and other keeper leagues will hold drafts soon.
Each year, there are multiple media sites that offer expert drafting analysis.
The #1 fantasy draft pick in any league, ever, is generally regarded as Connor McDavid by NHL.com themselves.

Although Connor Bedard has never played in the NHL, he has been substituted for Connor McDavid this year. Cale Makar, winner of the Norris Trophy, is just below Bedard.
I can see how this is going to cause some issues with the 2023 fantasy hockey draft classes.
