The NHL Has Issued a Connor Bedard Projection For His First Year in The NHL
Connor Bedard, the most hyped NHL prospect in years, faces immense pressure in his rookie year with the talent-strapped Chicago Blackhawks.
Expected to win the Calder Trophy and be a point-per-game player, Bedard's potential is sky-high.
Some projections set his rookie goal mark at 32.5, a tall order for a struggling team.
NHL.com foresees him tallying 78 points, a feat achieved last by Mathew Barzal in 2017-18. Supported by Taylor Hall and potential linemates Taylor Raddysh or Andreas Athanasiou, Bedard has the chance to boost his teammates and meet projections.
Whether he reaches the heights remains to be seen, but his NHL debut promises excitement.
