There will be a 2024 NHL draft regardless of where the Ducks finish in the standings
If he is a top 3 pick then that is 3 Canadians in 4 years picked in the top 3 that were developed in the USHL, and more specifically the Chicago Steel. Thats pretty impressive that they have been able to attract some of the best Canadians.
If I was Canadian I would rather go to the USHL and NCAA rather then the CHL. It leaves way more flexibility and allows you to go to the AHL early.
Jesus thats a big kid. 6'4 205 at age 16. He could easily grow another inch or 2.

some real nice prospects coming up the next couple years with celebrini in '24, michael misa in '25, and gavin mckenna (who might just be on bedard's level) in '26

They are cousins, must be a rather exceptional gene pool that they came from.

Chicago will be bad enough to have a chance at Misa in 2025, Celebrini in 2024 and Bedard in 2023.
Imagine if Chicago ends up with Bedard and Misa and one of the top2 in 2024.

Don’t worry about stuff 2 years away.
Wright was a sure fire franchise player 2 years out with Savoie and Lambert close behind. We saw how that went.
I don't think they can pull off that trifecta since I believe a team can only win the lottery twice in 5 years. To get all three players they'd have to win the lottery 3 years in a row. The Ducks have the same odds of doing that BTW.
EDIT: In reviewing the rule, it states that a team can only IMPROVE their draft position twice in a 5 year span. If the Ducks win the lottery today would that count since technically they didn't improve their position. Could they draft 1st this year and then also be eligible to win the lottery in 2024 and 2025? Interesting scenario.

Thats kinda interesting wording.
That reads like
we can draft 1st this year, and move up to 1st the next 2 years..... but idk if that was intentional or not.
Personally i would prefer the rule to be a team can only have 2 1st overalls in a 5 year span, no matter how they end up at 1st overall.
No they specifically say "win the lottery".

Although, this does mean the Ducks could pick first and have it not count towards their 2 if the winners are both 12-16.

I'd prefer 1 1st overall and 1 2nd overall maximum in a 5 year (or longer) window. Seeing the same teams at the top of the draft sucks.
That's the summary for the press release. The full rules include the clarification that winning but not moving up doesn't count as one of your two.No they specifically say "win the lottery".

Quick question for those that know far more about the draft than I do: since the Ducks technically won one of the lottery draws, does that mean they can win only one more in the next 5 years?
(I know we all think/hope that they won't be a lottery team in 2-3 years, but it would add a little more sting if this were the case).
EDIT:
Looks like this would be the case (bolded quote below)

My understanding is the restriction is if you move up. We moved down even though we won one of the picks.Quick question for those that know far more about the draft than I do: since the Ducks technically won one of the lottery draws, does that mean they can win only one more in the next 5 years?

Seems like a lot of RHD in the 5-15 range for us next year... would be almost perfect setup for us.

The team that acquires Adam Henrique is winning the cup? Crazy.
With next season 3 Months away, figured the Ducks will likely pick Top 10. So decided to bump this up since the 2023 draft is over.

As a season ticket holder, I hope and pray we are good enough to pick out of the top 10 this season. It felt dirty last season rooting for them to lose. A 20 point improvement over last would be a step in the right direction.
I am hoping they pick like between 12-14, which means competitive.500 hockey. I don’t think even that’s realistic but I doubt it will be bad as last season. But I do expect a little pain next season.
Oh you optimists. I, for one, am already cacklin' for Macklin.
Yeah idk our defense is still going to be so, so bad which I don’t think there’s any quick fix for.
