It's pretty hard to become a generational talent if you don't care what happens on the ice. Enter Connor Bedard, 1st overall pick.
During practice on Sunday, Bedard's team lost a scrimmage on the ice.
He has made an immediate impact on his teammates, including mentor Nick Foligno. Foligno already views him as a competitor on ice, and his assessment isn't incorrect, since Bedard hates to lose.
Sidney Crosby even predicted that the generational talent would score 170 NHL points one day.
The following day, Bedard was seen practicing on the ice with Kevin Korchinski.
There is no denying that Bedard is a real winner, a determined individual.
