I know! One of the youngest prospects in this draft! He's almost one year younger than guys like Fantilli (Oct 2004), Michkov (Dec 2004) and Carlsson (Dec 2004).
His offense is NHL ready. Forcing plays is something I think he'll do less of at the NHL level where he won't necessarily be far and away the best player on the ice every night. Defense likely won't ever be his strong suit, but there's enough to where an NHL coaching staff can help, and if he works at it like Connor McDavid has, he can at least get to the point where he's not a major liability there.
You're totally right...most of the issues junior players have can be addressed at the next level and teams will obviously work those out. But Bedard's superior offensive skill is what will separate him from the rest.
He’ll be really fun to watch when he realizes that if he draws 3 players on himself there’s two of his teammates open. Great observations about him trying to do too much. How many assists has McDavid gotten for doing just that and dishing the puck to a Draisaitl one timer.
The WHL is a joke. He would have MAYBE 90 pts in the OHL. He has major gaps in strength, acceleration, agility, stamina, slapshot, and no moves that are NHL level, he makes a lot of mistakes and hogs the puck, and he is used to far less physical contact in the WHL, he will get flattened in the NHL. My bet is he's a middle of the road NHL player if he lasts.
Exactly...and how can you knock someone who scores 70+ goals? He's an offensive threat every time he steps on the ice. And he's doing it right now in the WHL playoffs.

This is incredible! I'm a Blackhawks fan and I couldn't be more excited for draft day!
Be ready for the Bedard hype in Chicago!
Underrated as hell channel, I love absolutely every video that comes out
Thanks so much! Appreciate the positive comment! Cheers!
Great video!!! Bedard is a sicko, best prospect we’ve seen since McJesus!!
STUD!!! Can't wait to see where he lands!
It’s so crazy seeing what Bedard is doing Im excited to see what team gets him and how he does in the NHL
This is one of those drafts where you're gonna see a lot of excitement at the NHL Lottery! Whoever gets the first overall should go crazy!
YES, I can't wait
please be a habs💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
@@jimjones7530 Would be lucky to land him for sure!
@@nhldraftpros HAWKS WIN !!!!
With any luck he’s a future Hawk🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Would be a great addition for sure!

Welcome to Chicago Connor!
CONGRATS!!! What a pick up!
@@nhldraftpros Poetic passing of the torch from the Toews/Kane era to the Bedard era
I respect how reply to almost every comment.
I need this man in philly! He's my only hope to save this franchise.
Would be special for Flyers to land him for sure!
Explain this in NBA terms. I don’t watch the NHL much but I support everything Chicago
Could be the next Jordan-lite of the hockey world! Yeah, he's that good!
He kind of reminds me of a blend Kirill Kaprizov and Austin Matthews maybe. So hard to stop guys who have a really good shot with good hands.
I think he will be his own player and we will start comparing future players to him...lol! He's one of a kind that's for sure!
Jeez and he’s born is July! Just crazy what he’ll turn into
I know! One of the youngest prospects in this draft! He's almost one year younger than guys like Fantilli (Oct 2004), Michkov (Dec 2004) and Carlsson (Dec 2004).
your next hawks captain - connor bedard.
HAWK!
Congrats!

Love this kid, will he be the next McDavid or Lafreniere/Kakko ?
He's gonna be his own kinda superstar!
It’s the ducks, Bedard is a ducks name. Said it about Zegras prior to his draft as well. Names and fits count im telling you guys!
He’ll be really fun to watch when he realizes that if he draws 3 players on himself there’s two of his teammates open.
Great observations about him trying to do too much.
How many assists has McDavid gotten for doing just that and dishing the puck to a Draisaitl one timer.
The Ducks brought me here, cmon baby!
I hope the Ducks pick him up!!! i think he will work well with zegras and terry!!
Just just having the same discussion with someone today...Zegras + Bedard = 🔥
6:48 he didnt get pushed down, he fell down lol.
future habs player
YOU HOPE LOLOL

Welcome to Chicago Conner Bedard!!😂🎉❤
@Yvon jr Pierre are u psychic?
Jinx!
I feel bad for the guys that haven’t realized he’s going to the caps
Wow...would that be something!
@@nhldraftpros are you planning on making a top 10/top 30 video based on your thoughts? I think that’d be great
@@Ryan-jv8bw Yup! Will do a top 16 next week after the lottery!
@@nhldraftpros sweet, I think a cool thing to add to these videos too would be an NHL player comparison
@@Ryan-jv8bw Yeah I thought about that...may add it at end of video when I do my ranking of said player. Thanks for input, really appreciate it!
You sold me on Zach Benson 😊 gets better as he picks up size 🏒🥅
Connor = rare brain 🧠 😊
🦆
Please hockey gods let Columbus draft him
Would fit in nice with the young players that Columbus has already!
One of better players on draft but not the best...:)
Oh!!! So who do you have as the best? You have to share!

The WHL is typically considered a low scoring junior league compared to the Q and OHL. How do you think he would do if he played in the OHL?
Good call dude
😂😂😂
Best prospect to come out of Saskatchewan, since Gordie Howe, or Wendal Clark 🏒🥅💚💚💚
the thing is for every fuck up he always gets it back.
Exactly...and how can you knock someone who scores 70+ goals? He's an offensive threat every time he steps on the ice. And he's doing it right now in the WHL playoffs.
@@nhldraftpros for sure. theres really not too much knock about him.
@@adriandixson5594 Such a great player...and big game player too!
