Has The Bedard Hype Died Out?

Season wasn’t a disappointment at all. Terrible team that was never in the playoff picture. So the teams that are competing for the cup rightfully so should be on the top of the headlines.
Why would anyone be talking him or the Blackhawks right now? He's shown what he can do in the NHL, he will be an elite player for years. He got hurt, still led the team in scoring and showed you the flashes of greatness on a terrible team.
There's nothing else to talk about with him right now.

Yes. Heard the Hawks are shopping him for a 3rd rounder.
Only thing to speculate about is how his off-season will go, will he hit a sophomore slump or will he improve and by how much, and will the hawks do anything to improve the roster and try to get him a wingman or stand pat tanking another year

I wish you all the bad things in life.
Why would anyone be talking about a player on a non playoff team during the 1st games of the first rd?

His team isn’t in the playoffs so people are focused on other things. If he scores some goals in the world championships, people may talk about it a bit.

Usually if a player gets a thread in the offseason it’s a bad thing…
The press only needed to hype him during the regular season to get his award. Now he needs to get ready for next year's brutality.

He was a bit dissapointing if you expected a generational player, but he certainly showed he'll be a superstar for a long time in this league and you could say that about very few 18 year olds ever.

It's time.
No way. People should be talking about him non-stop.
When he's not on TV in the playoffs, everyone should be asking, "where's Connor?"

Ludicrous speed, GO!
Not sure I see the full Crosby/Ovi/McDavid generational potential with him, but at least offensively I think it's going to be fun to track his career vs. Kane's.
Considering 88 is likely retiring soon as the greatest US born player, that's not small praise. The question will be can the Blackhawks find him his own Toews?

At least the generational hype train died up, which was a no brainer to start with.
Now that the expectations are a bit more pragmatic then there a good chance he can live up to it.

You answered your own question. People are focused on the playoffs. Bedard is playing for Canada in the WC next month. Probably will be the next time you hear about him
He is season went pretty much as expected. His team was just so so bad and will be so so bad for a while barring a Celebrini draft this off season.
There’s really nothing to talk about regarding him until he plays for TC at the world championship and then wins the Calder
