Some teams have a horse shoe up their ass. Why can‘t the smaller markets get luck like this? Players lime this never get to go to the teams that need them.

[King Karl]

I kind of hope he pulls a Daigle

 

[SimpleJack]

Idk what’s better….landing Bedard or salivating in the misery of all these salty fans from other teams.

 

[GermanRocket7]

Couldn't have happened to a shittier organization or city.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

LOOOOL

Chicago is gonna be entertaining to watch purely cuz of this kid

 

[Ace]

 

[CBJx614]

And this is why the league struggles to grow. Keep giving these organizations with a tons of history game changing talent while f***ing over the expansion teams continually.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

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

Didn't we all call Chicago?

I called it in October...it was rigged as it was in 2007 with PKane

 

[Channelcat]

weekes going to acknowledge what he just did?

Seriously, what happened there?

 

[Daximus]

You guys know the cards aren’t actually what determines the order right? They’re just for show? The actual picks are decided by a powerball-style machine run/monitored by an independent 3rd party auditor. The lottery and ESPN are dumb, but it’s not rigged.

The cards are put in order by the company running the lottery.

 

[ujju2]

The irony coming from an Oilers fan and their 7 1st overall picks

This has nothing to do with tanking or incompetence or whatever. Chicago doesn't deserve him because they are a dirt bag organization off the ice.

 

[hamzarocks]

Jonathan Toews juat moved up on the all time rankings listing

Pure intangibles

 

[HTFN]

So.... there's no real reason not to do a live draw, right?

 

[WetWholphin]

This is proof that there is no God.

There is only gary

 

[mkatcherin00]

And folks, if this was rigged, Arizona would win it. They are doing everything to get them to improve. Too bad for them

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Couldn’t be happier for Chicago. Don’t worry about the woke keyboard warriors.

Worthless post.

 

[CycloneSweep]

The people that did that aren’t employed by Hawks. I don’t condone that shit and it’s disgusting. Yet he still got hired in Florida after and the other dude about to get an interview in Pitt.

Different owner? Or is it the same owner?

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Nice.

 

[Aoko]

The. Chicago Rapehawks…

I need that jersey with Bedard asap!!!

 

[Nikki Potnick]

 

[HFpapi]

Guys, a sports franchise isn't a real entity. The "Chicago Blackhawks" didn't do anything. It's an abstract.

The humans culpable for the Kyle Beach situation don't work there anymore. The logo on the jersey wasn't part of the cover up.

Other places I would have preferred to see Bedard end up but an original 6 franchise and a good sports city having a generational superstar isn't the worst thing.

 

[TopG]

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

Didn't we all call Chicago?

I mean… Ducks won the poll of who HF thought would get it… so no….

 

[bossram]

Chicago can't cover up how excited they are

Top notch content sir.

 

[NeelyWasAWarrior]

Hopefully he'll bring peace and love to chicago if not stanley cups.
