Today, before the Blackhawks' 6PM puck drop at the United Center, Connor Bedard wore a Chicago Blackhawks jersey with the Captaincy badge for the first time, giving a hint about the team's future leadership.
With the Chicago Blackhawks in a rebuilding phase and no current captain, speculation arises about Bedard's potential as a future leader, much like Connor McDavid did in Edmonton once he arrived and made a major impact.
If all goes as expected, Bedard could follow Jonathan Toews as the next Blackhawks captain, a role known for its significant responsibility and high expectations.
