BUFFALO, N.Y. — Last summer, Connor Bedard met two significant people in the hockey world for the first time.
One was Kyle Davidson, the Blackhawks general manager who will use the No. 1 draft pick to officially bring Bedard to Chicago later this month. That was a far-off hypothetical last summer; this week, when Bedard met again with Davidson and the rest of the Hawks’ staff at the NHL scouting combine, it felt a lot more real.
