The difference in talent between Connor McDavid and Connor Bedard is significant
Auteur: Manuel Sperandio-LemayIn 2015, the Edmonton Oilers drafted a certain Connor McDavid at No. 1 overall. And he quickly became the best player in the world. When he retires, it’s fair to wonder if he’ll ever be the greatest player of all time.
Eight years later, in 2023, it was the Chicago Blackhawks’ turn to draft a forward named Connor first overall. In addition to their first names, it’s easy to make connections between these two prodigious players. True, Bedard hasn’t played a game on the Bettman circuit, but everyone agrees he’ll be dominant.

McDavid is much faster and has much better hands. I’m not saying that the Hawks’ new protĂ©gĂ© isn ‘t good, but when we compare him to the crĂšme de la crĂšme, perhaps we went a little too far, a little too fast when we said: “He’s going to be competing with McDavid over the next few years”. It’s true that his tool of choice is his shot – not his skating stroke – but…
Maybe in a few years’ time, the former Regina Pats 98 will give the other Connor a run for his money, but for next season, the two won’t finish close in the stats column. There will be no comparisons to be made between the two. That would be unfair to the younger Connor.
And anyway, Bedard needs to “make the club” before he thinks about winning the Art Ross…
