Die by the Blade says Chicago's Connor Bedard rebuild resembles Buffalo's Jack Eichel years.
The fan blog notes Buffalo drafted Eichel second overall in 2015 and Chicago took Bedard first overall in 2023. Bedard had 61 points in 68 games as a rookie, and Eichel had 56 in 81. The column argues that early production does not guarantee a winner until a team can defend and handle injuries.
