Ever since Connor Bedard was taken with the No. 1 pick of the 2023 NHL draft, the Chicago Blackhawks have searched for consistent wingers for the center. It’s been a revolving door of skaters lining up with the star.

The Hawks have much to figure out under first-year coach Jeff Blashill, but one of the biggest goals is making sure Bedard doesn’t have to see new faces every shift.
