There's a very good chance you've heard of NHL draft sensation Connor Bedard by now. He's been plastered all over social media for his historic season leading up to the draft, and it seems like he just gets better with each passing day. He's the unanimous #1 pick for 2023, and whichever team takes him is getting a future superstar.
Bedard's Historic Season Continues
Bedard is having one of the best draft year seasons ever in the CHL, reaching company such as Connor McDavid and Sidney Crosby. One thing that Bedard has separated himself from the rest of the pack in is his goal scoring prowess. If you watched the 2023 World Juniors you likely noticed his unreal shot, and thanks to his signature "toe-drag release", Bedard has torched the WHL.
The young phenom is averaging over 1.2 goals per game in the WHL, which is a milestone that few people even thought about him reaching at the beginning of the season. With time still remaining on his season, it's all but guaranteed Bedard will add to his 70 goals and 71 assists to reach the 150 point marker.
One thing's certain, if your team isn't getting Bedard, you certainly don't want him playing in your division.
