Few players have received the amount of attention Bedard has from the media since he's been drafted. As one of the most hyped 1st overall picks in recent memory, Bedard has been followed by a flock of reporters and headlines in his young career that technically hasn't even started yet. Today he addressed this, hinting that he isn't the biggest fan of the level of attention he has gotten.
Bedard has certainly been under close scrutiny at all Blackhawks events so far be it team practices or preseason games. The stories have been mostly positive, increasing the already insane level of hype surrounding the 18-year-old center.
The league's newest superstar has not been afraid of making it known how much he looks up to one of the league's most veteran superstars, Sidney Crosby. Bedard has even gone so far as to say that he uses Crosby's model of behavior to regulate himself off the ice.
