Now, after seeing the young phenom alongside seasoned NHLers, seeing that not only can he hold his own, but excel, that hope grows even stronger - especially when Bedard himself says we have yet to see him at his best.
The Blackhawks won their first preseason game in OT versus the St. Louis Blues. With a score of 2-1, Bedard, alone, had 2 assists. Sure, it's preseason, and all the clubs are using rookies and prospects, but Conor was up against a number of veteran Blues, as well, such as Robert Thomas, Pavel Buchnevich, and more.
It's no secret that this 18 year old kid is already a star. But his work ethic and humility will make him a legend.
