The Chicago Blackhawks' rookie Connor Bedard shared his thoughts on the upcoming NHL draft, almost one year after his selection at the first overall rank.

He mentionned that he is more than happy to not be involved this year.

Connor Bedard shares that he's happy to stay away from the draft this season

With the regular season ending in a month, all talks will be centered around the playoffs and the draft.
Here's what Bedard had to say about the draft:
"It was awesome last year, but it's nice to be on the outside a little bit and just not be a part of it as much."

"I know a couple guys who are going through the (draft) process, it's exciting for them. I think for me, it was awesome last year but it's nice to kind of be on the outside a little bit."

Connor Bedard talks about Macklin Celebrini: "He's a special player."

While he's not a superstar as big as Bedard, Celebrini should have a long career in the NHL.
Bedard shared his thoughts on Celebrini:
"He's a special player and what he's doing this year is remarkable. I don't know if it's been done at his age, obviously going as an underage and probably being one of the Hobey (Baker) finalists, I'm sure he'll be up there if not win it. It's been exciting to watch a guy like that. The NHL's probably pretty excited about him coming in"

Bedard is a very special player and a true example for Celebrini. Bedard recently showed that he's not only good at hockey, but also a good guy.
We can't wait to see what'll happen at the lottery.
