Chris Chelios joined Mully & Haugh on 670 the Score to discuss the impact Connor Bedard will have on the Blackhawks.
The Hawks recently finished jettisoning the members of their dynasty from the early 2010s. Before the end of the regular season, the team announced they would not be re-signing Jonathan Toews after the season, making the team officially free of any members from the dynasty years.
For Bedard, Chelios said the WHL prospect will step into the Hawks' lineup immediately upon joining the team.Bedard joined the WHL when he was 15 years old, joining the likes of only three other players, including McDavid, who received an exception to join the league a year before most players. One concern some scouts have raised is his size. He possesses an all-around skillset, but his height scares some outsiders into thinking he might not physically adapt to the NHL. Fear no more. Bedard, while being on the shorter side, is 185 pounds. He's a muscular behemoth with legs the size of tree trunks.
