Did anyone else notice that? Right before break he announced the 3rd pick. And before Daley announced it there was a star next to chicagos name.

I am amazed at how they f***ed that up...

 

[NeelyWasAWarrior]

Like getting sent to Vietnam.

OC would have been a better place but oh well. Sorry kid.

 

[Magicman]

No way the NHL lets Anaheim, who I am not a fan of, get Bedard.

this feels slimy to say the least

 

[MoreMogilny]

Is sportsnet okay?

Acting like Chicago really desperately needs this

They’ve got 3 cups since 2010. Wtf train of thought is this? Who cares if they have lost players they are the most successful franchise in recent history outside of maybe Pittsburgh.

 

[behemolari]

Anaheim intentionally tanked, so karma

this is not about karma this is 100% business

 

[The Puckhound]

They really just need to do the drawings live. Otherwise there will always be doubts

 

[sansabri]

come to MTL Michkov

 

[Digitalbooya]

SHOCKING…. Said nobody. As expected, Chicago gifted the top pick.

 

[HaveKnifeWillButcher]

NHL and their diversity hires.

 

[93gilmour93]

So how many Bedard Hawks jersey’s get sold by the the end of the night?

 

[VainGretzky]

Edmonton's a big city?

1.5,mill metro pretty decent size and a fan base of about 2 million and a city proper over 1 million

 

[thethirdhockeyman91]

Absolute worst case scenario. Who the f*** is Bedard going to play with there? Chicago is 5 years from being remotely competitive even with him. Absolutely f***ing unbelievable.

Athanasiou and Tyler Johnson lmfao

 

[terranraida]

Ducks already have Zegras as a big revenue generating star doing media runs for the NHL games, they were never getting Bedard

 

[Kranix]

Too bad the Blackhawks hired another clueless, walnut brain GM to run the team

 

[ODoyle]

Rigged. Joke league.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

I'm torn. All I really wanted was for Bedard to play the majority of his games at a reasonable hour, and this cuts it just fine on that front..... but f*** the Blackhawks, man.

That said, anyone suggesting conspiracy....... come on.

They got Fantilli which isn’t a bad consolation prize.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Poor Anaheim, had this happen to them with Crosby and now Bedard lol

Forever 2nd place

 

[Panteras]

Damn, feel bad for CBJ. That’s a franchise that could’ve used a player and a win like this.
But hey, who knows, maybe they pick Mitchkov and he actually comes and becomes even better player Bedard

 

[PanniniClaus]

Y... you know Chicago isn't in Canada, right?

maybe meant Original 6? I really don't know.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Anaheim, the team that intentionally tanked

Anaheim were already bad in the last years

 

[Channelcat]

Much deserved!

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Columbus has the talent to be a play-off team next year if they are healthy! Chicago is still crap but at least Bedard gives them hope

 

[Not Sure]

Just not Montreal lmao

Be real, Montreal fans aren't going anywhere. Pittsburgh, Chicago, those are teams that immediately lose a huge part of their fan base if they don't have a superstar player. Can't have the Blackhawks threatening to sell the team.

 

[thaman8765678]

It’s random…. They weren’t rewarded lol

Is it random? I have my doubts after they announced it early...

Didn't we all call Chicago?
