His name is Connor. After a season in which multiple NHL teams tried to maximize their draft lottery odds to select him, Connor was selected first overall. He was cast as a potential franchise savior, with unparalleled offensive skills. He's sold thousands of tickets before playing a minute of pro hockey.
That was Connor McDavid with the Edmonton Oilers in 2015, after which he was a point-per-game player as a rookie.
This is Connor Bedard with the Chicago Blackhawks in 2023, hoping to make a difference for a franchise in need of a dramatic reversal of fortunes.
