Rivaling Sid the Kid
The 18-year-old Bedard has five goals and one assist in his first three games at the World Championship. The Chicago Blackhawks center had four shots on goal and played 16 minutes on Tuesday's wild contest at the Prague Arena.
Bedard, who led NHL rookies in goals (22) and points (61) in 2023-24, is on a pace at the Worlds that rivals another Canadian star, Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby.

Thats very good trade for Blackhawks. It now suddenly opened possiblity to get really good player at #18. Instead just hoping someone falls to #20. Everyone needs to remember that hockey is not basketball and assets (picks) the lower they are there is a lot higher chance not to make it in NHL.
Only top picks really make it to NHL and play immediatly in rookie year. Let alone have succesful career as 2nd or 3rd round picks after multiple years of getting ready to play there.
