Prospect Info: Connor Bedard - 2023 1st - C, Regina

[EddieTheEagle]

Do you think the main boards are more pissed that Bedard is a Hawk than they were when McDavid went to the Oilers?

100%. The Hawks have seen a ton of success with Cups relatively recently. The Oilers just happened to luck into a ton of 1st overalls.

I'm licking up all the salty tears.

The Puckpedia post you pulled that quote from was not in reference to whether they can sign under 18. I never said anything about the CBA, just that you were very clearly using that quote out of context.

"Entry Level Contract - # of Years​

The length of the Entry Level contract is outlined in the CBA Section 9.1b:
Signing Age* Years of ELC
18-21 3 Years
22-23 2 Years
24 1 Year
25+ No Limit & Not-Entry Level if drafted from North America
25-27** 1 Year if drafted from Europe
*Signing Age is age on September 15 of calendar year in which first contract is signed, regardless of actual age when contract signed."

This is the context where I took that quote. But whatever..

Joke or not, it was a dumb comment. Just sayin.

Relax a little...it's a good day for the Hawks

I'm plenty relaxed and happy.

I'm a former smoker. It's an awful addiction. It's worse than heroin or cocaine, and even most prescription opiates. My Dad died from it two years ago. I think making a joke about an 18 year old lighting one up "to look cool" is dumb. Sorry not sorry.

If he really wanted to be a Hawk, he would've altered his birthday to have been able to sign earlier than today.

Felix Unger Sörum just signed with Canes and he turns 18 in 14th of September.

Considering the Canes nearly tried to draft a player not even in the drafting system in the draft and then traded away the pick after they got caught, I would've use that team as a measure for keeping it "in the rules".

A couple of these are doable for Bedard.

I really don´t know what you are trying to say here? Adam Sykora signed last july with NYR and he turned 18 in september also. I responded when someone claimed here that player can´t be signed before he is 18 years old. You have to be 18 by september 15th.

Honest question

Does Bedard have some sort of issue with nerves in his face or something? Every time he smiles it's as if only one side of his face responds.

I know its weird observation but just something I was wonderintg about

Just a smirk because this son of a gun knows he is the bee's knees. ConCon, you sly dog.

Nice to see CB in town on the ice. Hopefully CM isn't giving CB skating or shooting tips.

Fresh off the presses.

Fresh off the presses.

We’re going to be dealing with these Canuck weirdos asking Bedard about the Canucks until he signs a long term deal.

Like brace yourselves for three years of this.

He handles it well. Love that he’s rocking the Blackhawk polo.

The end where they joke that Keith and Seabrook being inducted into the BC hockey hall of fame is funny because I'm sure he can meet those guys and all they have to do is look at him and say:

"f*** the Nuks and go Hawks!"

End of story, let's move on.

 

[HallOfGreatness4]

Can’t wait to watch the kid in October. Also mcfarlane announced they will be kicking off their new hockey lineup with a Bedard figure!

That was cool. Right there at the end he said Keith and Seabrook are going into the BC hockey hall of fame this weekend - pretty cool.

Before Bedard signed his ELC, there was an embarrassing amount of Nucks fans who believe Bedard was going "to pull a Lindross" and not signed. When he did signed, their tune change to "oh he'll sign with the Canucks when he becomes a FA." All I did was say to these guys was that the only way Bedard becomes a FA is if his relationship gets to such a bad spot that a divorce is needed. But a more likely scenario is that sometime in the next 5-6 years, the Hawks win the cup and the Hawks locks up Bedard through his prime years.

But if Canucks really want to see CB as a Canuck, load up NHL '23. Everything goes to plan, CB should never put on another NHL jersey.
