Abort the Bedard tender debate

Post by General »

Looks like Connor injured himself in offseason training. From The Athletic:

"Chicago Blackhawks center Connor Bedard skated off the ice clutching his left arm or shoulder in pain after an awkward fall during a training session at Scotia Barn in Burnaby, B.C., on Thursday.

Bedard was working along the boards and slipped while flipping the puck ahead, landing on his shoulder, as seen on video from the training session. There didn’t appear to be any contact from any of the other players on the ice, which included several NHL players who regularly skate together in the Vancouver area in the offseason.

A team spokesperson told The Athletic the Blackhawks don’t yet have any “definitive updates” on Bedard’s situation and likely won’t have any official word until at least Monday.

Bedard suffered a right shoulder injury (not the one he appeared to hurt on Thursday) last season while taking a faceoff against the St. Louis Blues on Dec. 12. He missed nearly four weeks with that injury and was restricted from taking faceoffs until after the Olympic break in February."

Another Russian with weak shoulders? Bedardsky?

Seriously, I prefer to see teams face off with their best players in the lineup. No excuses.

Another thread is about tendering a contract to Bedard who is an RFA. This was directed towards those in the know so why would I talk about it? IYKYK
