Connor Bedard had all eyes on him during the NHL scouting combine. The likely future Chicago Blackhawk was disappointed in how he did at one measurement.

The Blackhawks are expected to take the talented Canadian with the number one overall pick in June. Nothing is set in stone yet, and the 17-year-old athlete had to show his skills off at the combine. According to Charlie Roumeliotis with NBC Sports, Bedard felt he flubbed the height test:

“Bedard started the day by officially measuring in at 5′ 9.75” and 185 pounds. He jokingly laughed after the results popped up; he was hoping to break 5-foot-10 but fell just short.

“Me and [Nate Danielson] were talking, I wanted to hit 5-10, I was close,” Bedard said. “I didn’t really care at all. I don’t think it matters, but it was funny. It was pretty close but I didn’t make it.”

I don’t think a quarter of an inch will hurt Bedard’s chances of being drafted by the Blackhawks. Fighting through illness, Bedard turned out a solid performance at the combine. According to Roumeliotis, Bedard was looking elite at pull-ups and other tests.

Chicago Blackhawks fans talk about Connor Bedard’s height

Blackhawk fans commented about Bedard’s measurement not long after it was reported. Here are the best takes on Bedard’s height measurement at the combine.

That’s too small for the NHL, the 15 teams ahead of us should pass imo. https://t.co/LZ9wC85XAu

confirmed petite like peeksy https://t.co/Qwi9h0xCZB

— 💊 (@catboyseider) June 10, 2023

Undersized. The first 14 teams should pass on him for sure. https://t.co/y2JWJsHrHY

185lbs at 17 and 5'9"… wild. https://t.co/8z0KUS3qG8

Incoming “he won’t be able to compete in the NHL because of his size”

Kane – 5’10”
Gaudreau – 5’9”
Debrincat – 5’7”

And a ton of more examples #NHL #Blackhawks #NHLDraft https://t.co/9aCInAzMeI
