Connor Bedard still has room to improve certain aspects of his game. The good news: The young star is driven to keep getting better.

Thanks for your comment, really appreciate your input. What stands out with Bedard is how quickly he’s learning to adjust his game. He’s already talked about fine-tuning his shot setup and managing his stick so those one-timer chances don’t get wasted. That alone could make a big difference in his goal totals this season.
Nazar is another key piece — if he keeps improving his finishing, the Hawks will finally have more than one real scoring threat behind Bedard. And with Vlasic learning how to handle the grind of a full NHL year, you can see the young guys starting to understand what it takes to sustain their game.
It’s exciting for fans because these players are being more open about their growth, and it really feels like we get to grow with them as this rebuild moves forward.
Another problem that they are working on is his stick had so much flex half the time his blade would hop over the puck on a one timer. The way i understand it, they made his stick shorter so he can become more consistent with that particular shot.
He missed out on a ton of one timer chances last season. So with the Blackhawks working with him on his stick and Nazar working on his breakaways moves they should combine for at least 10 extra goals next season.
I also find it kind of funny these so called pro analysts are ranking Celebrini over Bedard now? Celebrini is a very good player but I’d love to see Celebrini succeed like Bedard did with Kurashev on his wing.
Btw that slump you mention he admitted he kind of ran out of gas just like Vlasic did and talked about not grinding so hard next season that he needs to find other outlets so he doesn’t get burnt out again.
It’s really neat getting this much media exposure now with the players willingness to be more open about things, you kind of get to grow with these players.
I saved my post this time, hahaha
