Chicago has brought in a support group that will help the younger players develop: Bedard is not the only one, just the best one. Adding guys like Maroon will ensure opponents will not try to take him out.

Bedard is the face of the Hawks, but I can tell you from following this team that Foligno is the unequivocal leader of that locker room. If they do name a captain, it will be him, and he'll pass it to Bedard.

You've got to go with dickinson for our 2 line centre, he played and improved so well last season

[@karvakasiedward4002]

Barzal +1 Pettersson +3 RNH -2 McDavid -1 and Bedard -44. Saying he had bad team is bad excuse. +/- is not very good stat overall but when its very high or low it tells something. Bedard wont be the one to lead Blackhawks to glory. He is their new Kane, but they need new Toews to lead the team if they want to win anything. Bedard was Canadas 13th forward in World championship this year when facing real hockey countries after scoring couple goals against some Britan and Denmark. He was suppose to be their best player on paper but his overall game was so terrible they coudnt use him when they wanted to win and not just score goals. Hawks need to start train him to play defence and fast, or move him to wing and get two way center for him if he just wants to score points. If Bedard next year gets 30+30 and only -10 thats far bigger improvment than 40+40 and -30. Offence can win games but defence wins cups.

Bedard last season +/- -44 😂 he is not defense at all, and hes rookie season was way worse than everybody say, yeah if he get next season plus 40 goals and he spent more time in offensive side on ice just sitting in and waiting when someone going to pass so he can try make goal. (like last season and how bad Chicago was and still bedard wasnt even defense, and number shots on goal was insane much) hockey isnt one teen game, i really hope that teräväinen, hall, bertuzzi etc just going to pass bedard every time so new golden boy can try to score. Bedard is going to be insane in future maybe 2-3 years and then. But now media and everybody is going to give too much weight on his shoulders and i dong know, i hope that bedard is going to be next pulju or laine. I really hope. He is kid still, so chill everybody

[@Snapshot1965]

[@jfrunnerCanada]

Ok, the elephant in the room now… as good as we want Bedard to be, he is young, short and fragile for the NHL… the injuries will follow him all his career and the better he gets, the more he is going to be targeted… sad but the true reality. He may have some 80+ points years, but injuries will make him a 65-75 points player for the same amount of matchs played.

[@thunderbuddy88]

He's not fragile, what a dumb comment, the Smith hit was lucky and it won't happen again. Sure he's 5'10" but he's a gym rat and very muscular, he'll be around 200lbs when he's done adding weight.
