Connor Bedard on the comparisons between him and Patrick Kane

Connor Bedard, the top selection in the 2023 NHL draft, has emerged as a pivotal player for the Chicago Blackhawks. He recently discussed the parallels drawn between himself and veteran forward Patrick Kane of the Detroit Red Wings.

Bedard expressed his admiration for Kane and acknowledged the veteran's illustrious career while highlighting his own journey in the league.

"I don't care too much what people say. If I can be anything like him, that's pretty great, the career he had. I'm my own person and player and everything, so I'll do what I do and he does what he does,"

While acknowledging Kane's outstanding achievements, Bedard mentioned:

"He's got a special career, of course. So, I mean, it's hard to kind of compare"

Connor Bedard currently leads all rookies with 39 points, boasting 17 goals and 22 assists in 43 games.
