Elliotte Friedman, a respected hockey analyst, believes that the Flyers would be the perfect franchise to land Bedard. In a recent appearance on 32 Thoughts: The Podcast, Friedman said, "I think the NHL would be very happy if Connor Bedard ended up in Philly, that's a big time hockey market...Philly is a big, big intense, sports-loving, hockey-loving market, near, sorry West Coasters, the East Coast media hub of North America."
If the Flyers do indeed draft Bedard, it would be a huge coup for the franchise and its fans. Bedard has already shown incredible skill and potential, and could be a cornerstone player for the Flyers for years to come.
