The two squads greatly differ in their competitive position regarding the Stanley Cup. The Oilers were viewed as Cup favorites last season and even after the off-season, they were perceived as contenders.
However, the team is currently experiencing a downturn, facing numerous issues. One contributing element is the absence of an outstanding display from their key player, Connor McDavid.
McDavid showcased exceptional numbers last year, effectively guiding the team, alongside his teammate Leon Draisaitl, to the playoffs' second round�a remarkable and impressive feat.
Contrarily, the Blackhawks have commenced their franchise's reconstruction, now in its second year. With Bedard's addition, General Manager Kyle Davidson acquired several seasoned players to support and ease Bedard and Kevin Korchinski's transition into the new league environment.
Comparing the two players proves challenging due to their substantial differences in stature and career stages. Nevertheless, it's apparent that both individuals have been and will remain prominent figures in the NHL.
