Connor Bedard NHL 24 Rating

The NHL 2023-24 regular season is just a few days away and the hype of generational hockey talent Connor Bedard is right at the top currently.

Furthermore, the first overall pick of the NHL 2023 Entry Draft has already scored a goal for the Chicago Blackhawks in their preseason games.

It is obvious that Bedard is definitely a playable character in the Blackhawks franchise at NHL 24. Since he has not played in the NHL before, it is very hard to predict his performance.

Generally, the rating of the players in NHL simulation games is directly influenced by their performance in the league. EA usually keeps the rookies with a relatively lower overall, which is a safe move by the company. Moreover, a lower rating allows the starters with room to grow.

Bedard is heavily considered the next version of Connor McDavid. Drafted in 2015, McDavid appeared in NHL 16 as his NHL video game debut.

If we go back to history, EA Sports gave McDavid an 82 overall rating which is one of the highest rookie ratings EA Sports ever made for a fresh player in the league. However, it totally makes sense for the hype he gained during the time and his generational performance in the NHL.

Likewise, Auston Matthews received a 77 overall rating in NHL 17. Matthews was the first overall pick of the NHL 2016 Draft by the Maple Leafs.

Bedard has risen as the most hyped prospect in the NHL since McDavid in 2015. It is believed that the young star will be rated behind McDavid and ahead of Matthews's ratings during their rookie season.

If that comes true, Bedard will be granted somewhere between 77-82 ratings. EA Sports has not officially confirmed a rating for Bedard to date. However, he will be most likely granted a rating close to 80.
