It's really hard not to feel bad for rookie sensation Connor Bedard right now. At just 18, he finds himself in the middle of one of the most significant hockey controversies in years, and none of it is his fault.
He recently spoke to the media for the first time since the rumors emerged, and to everyone's surprise, he didn't address the situation at all.
While Bedard represents the future of the Blackhawks, Patrick Kane was the face of an extraordinary era in Chicago, winning three Stanley Cups. Kane's chapter with the Blackhawks closed earlier this year, and he has now signed with the Detroit Red Wings.
