Present at the NHL Combine last week, the future first overall pick of the 2023 class, Connor Bedard, was there to talk with league teams, but also with the numerous journalists covering this event.

The phenomenon from the Regina Pats spoke with the excellent Anthony Martineau from TVA Sports, and he had a very interesting statement about two young defenders from the Montreal Canadiens.

Bedard mentioned that Arber Xhekaj and Kaiden Guhle are among the most difficult to face.

Wow! It’s quite flattering to hear this from the future big star of the National League.

For the Tricolore, it’s really encouraging to know that two of your rookie defenders from last season are so strong, especially since they will only improve with experience in the coming years.

The CH’s defensive squad is young, but it is already very promising!
