全明星前的非比赛日，找了一篇介绍已经几乎预定状元的Bedard的文章，翻译如下（由于是偏人物介绍，保留了英文，翻译错误敬请谅解！）
准状元Connor Bedard
Paddock would know more than most. The 68-year-old played 87 NHL games with the Washington Capitals, Philadelphia Flyers and Quebec Nordiques during parts of five seasons from 1975-83, coached the Winnipeg Jets (1991-95) and Ottawa Senators (2007-08), and has worked in all areas of the game in the NHL, American Hockey League and junior hockey.
Paddock比大多数人知道的都多。68岁的他曾经在首都人，飞人和魁北克北方人一共打了87场NHL比赛，时间跨度是1975-83的5个赛季，他还在喷气机（1991-95赛季）和参议员（2007-08赛季）担任过主教练（译者注：Wiki上查了一下确实是head coach），他在NHL，AHL和青年冰球领域的各个方面都有多年的工作经历。
For Paddock, Bedard looks NHL-ready because of how he plays and how he carries himself.
对于Paddock来说，Bedard已经做好了进入NHL的准备，这是因为他打球的方式和个人的举止。
"I think that's going to happen soon enough, in seven or eight months," Paddock said. "The details to prepare for the game and get focused for, say, a road trip, he would have that. That's not going to change. There's going to be an adaptation for him for bigger, faster, stronger, but clearly he's on top of the charts as a 17-year-old in our league.
“我认为这将很快发生，大概还有7-8个月，”Paddock说。“准备比赛的细节和集中精力，比如客场旅行，他已经具备这些能力。这是不会有什么改变的。对他来说，他会适应更体型更大，速度更快，身体更强壮的对手，但确实在我们的联盟里，他作为17岁的孩子已经到了统计榜的顶端。”
"I think that's pretty hard to argue."
“我觉得这很难说。”
Part of that can be traced to Paddock and the influence he's had on Bedard's development during their three seasons with Regina.
这部分可以追溯到Paddock和他在Regina队三个赛季中，对Bedard成长的影响。
"He's coached at every level and has had so many experiences with a lot of different players as well as playing in the NHL and everything," Bedard said. "He has so many experiences and so much knowledge on the game and how to treat me and obviously give me advice on all that. I've been super fortunate on all that. It's been great to learn from him."
“他在每个级别都有执教经历，他对许多不同类型的球员都有非常多的经验，不论是NHL还是其他的联盟，”Bedard说。“他对比赛也有很多经验和见解，如何使用我，显然在冰球的所有方面都能给我建议。我在这方面是非常幸运的。跟他学习是一件很棒的事儿。”
Bedard (5-foot-10, 185 pounds) doesn't have much more time to learn from Paddock. Regina has 21 games left in the regular season and has a chance to make the WHL playoffs. With 49 points (23-21-3) the Pats are seventh in the Eastern Conference, with the top eight making the postseason; they're three points ahead of ninth-place Medicine Hat.
Bedard（5尺10，185磅）没有多少时间继续从Paddock那里学习了。Regina队常规赛还剩21场，有机会进入WHL的季后赛。球队目前积49分（23胜21负3加时负）排名东部第7，前8名进入季后赛；他们比第九名的Medicine Hat队多3分。
But with Bedard targeted for an NHL lineup next season, his WHL career almost certainly will end whenever Regina's season does.
但是Bedard下赛季的目标是进入NHL球队的球员名单。不论Regina这个赛季走到哪，他的WHL生涯都几乎肯定结束了。
"On a personal level I've got to prove myself. That's my mentality still," Bedard said. "Take it day by day and try to improve every day in everything.
“在个人层面，我必须证明自己，这就是我的想法，”Bedard说。“一天一天的过，每天都努力提高。”
"For me it's (my) complete game and becoming a guy you can trust in all situations. I think that's something you learn about with experience. I think I've improved a bit on that and it's something I want to improve upon.
“对我来说，这是我的比赛，我要成为你在任何时候都可以信任的人。我想这是从经验中学到的。我认为我在这方面有所进步，这也是我想要改进的地方。”
"Just try to get better every day is something that I want to live by.
“每天都努力变得更好，是我想要的生活准则。”
