connor bedard's former coach offers insight on bedards future
According to his former head coach, John Paddock, Connor Bedard, who currently plays for the Regina Pats in the WHL, is expected to be the first player chosen in the NHL Entry Draft of 2023.
Paddock believes that Bedard's future position in the NHL may depend on the team dynamics of the Chicago Blackhawks, where he may end up playing as either a Center or on the Wing.
Bedard will be 18 years old at the time of his draft, and if he is considered NHL ready, he may be called up to the big league.
However, there are doubts about his ability to compete with established superstars like Connor McDavid. Regardless, whoever drafts Bedard will be acquiring a player who has the potential to transform their franchise.
