Connor Bedard Benched: Chicago Blackhawks Head Coach Reveals Decision To Bench Rookie Superstar

"When they're close and we have the lead, I think we've been using guys like Dickinson's line and Tyler Johnson's and Kershev's, guys like that, that have a little more experience to play in a five on six situation at this level. So he's not going to be probably a part of that equation yet.

But, you know, he's a great player and he's got a good eye hand coordination with stick abilities that at some point we'd like him to be involved in that, but right now, that probably plays into ice time as well at the end of the game."

This season is entirely about development. Development of your future. You learn by doing. Sometimes that doing comes with failure. Completely disagree with his assessment. Thanks for asking the question.
