Fans Worry As Connor Bedard Has Seemingly Been Demoted
In breaking news today, it was revealed that Chicago would be shuffling their lines, and fans are now worried for Bedard as things appear to be shaken up.
Bedard Seemingly On Second Line After Hall Injury
With the news of Taylor Hall's injury keeping him from playing for at least a few games, the Chicago Blackhawks have announced their line shuffling to accommodate. While they still listed Bedard as on the 1c position, a closer look at the lines and his new linemates would suggest he is more likely considered the second line.
Blackhawks lines
T. Johnson-Bedard-Foligno
Raddysh-Reichel-Athanasiou
Kurashev-Dickinson-Perry
Katchouk-Donato-R. Johnson
Blackwell, Entwistle
T. Johnson-Bedard-Foligno
Raddysh-Reichel-Athanasiou
Kurashev-Dickinson-Perry
Katchouk-Donato-R. Johnson
Blackwell, Entwistle
Fans were quick to point out that Foligno and Johnson aren't the best linemates that Bedard could have.
yo ima say this one last time, stop giving bedard sh*t line mates, give him reichel and let them cook

Bedard Will Likely Be Fine With Any Linemats He is Given
When Taylor Hall returns, it's highly likely that he and Bedard will be reunited to continue the chemistry they quickly developed. In the first 6 NHL games of his career, Bedard has recorded 4 points.
Spreading the talent out over multiple lines could also give Bedard and the Blackhawks better matchups if this is the strategy they intend.
