Connor Bedard Facts

Player Type: Heavy ShooterOffensive CenterSniper
Cap Hit: $15,000,000Powered by
NHL Rights: Chicago Blackhawks / Signed
Drafted: 2023 round 1 #1 overall by Chicago Blackhawks
Agency: Premium

Shooting, handling, dynamic rushes – these are a few of Bedard’s standout skills. His curl-and-drag shot – pull the puck in, elevate the top arm, and narrow the stance to put the full body behind the shot – will be mimicked for years to come. Every step of the way, Bedard masks his intentions to multiple levels of deception, attacks defenders at angles and with changes of pace, and completes every play at blinding speed – a functional pace unmatched by all but a select few NHLers. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
