Connor Bedard is in The Foot Steps of Patrick Kane

An 18-year-old Connor Bedard is poised to be the top pick in the upcoming 2023 NHL Draft.

With an impressive junior season, he ranks among the top 10 most productive first overall picks. His 143 points in 57 games with the Regina Pats place him just behind Patrick Kane and Eric Lindros.

Mario Lemieux holds the record with an unmatched 282 points. Wayne Gretzky's situation is unique as he was signed by the WHA instead of being drafted by the NHL.
