Connor Bedard Breaks Silence and Makes his Feelings Extremely Clear on his Future in Chicago

While Connor Bedard has adjusted to the NHL game well, the lack of talent around him in Chicago has become a major issue, and if nothing is done about it anytime soon, we could see a generational young star on the way out in the coming years.

In fact, with the teams rebuild going much slower than a team who landed the No. 1 and No. 2 overall picks in back-to-back years, many have begun speculating that he could want out very soon.

However, after another disappointing campaign wrapped up, Bedard made his desires to stay in Chicago incredibly clear to reporters, and it should make their fans very, very happy.

While he's been frustrated many times throughout his two years in Chicago, Bedard reiterates that he absolutely loves it with the Blackhawks, and given that he's the face of an Original Six franchise at just 20-years of age, it's very easy to see why.

Now, the team head into free agency and the 2025 NHL Draft with plenty of assets and salary cap space, and with the rumours linking them to Mitch Marner, there's a chance they could make some huge moves in the coming months to make their star center much happier.

Ultimately, there was always going to be little chance that Bedard would want to move on from an Original Six franchise so early in his career, and while he may not stay forever, for the immediate future, it's clear that he's not going anywhere.
