f***ing Chicago gets Bedard.

Lol so the NHL screwed up the broadcast apparently. Can't even get something as basic as this right....

Ya I think they skipped the Columbus reveal.

Anyways, congrats Chicago

 

[Leaf Rocket]

well then

 

[Nineteen67]

It was always going to be either Chicago or Philly.

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

lol f***in hawks.

at least he's not in the East. Thank god for that.

No, you do the winner first.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Is this Chicago GM 18?

 

[leafsfan5]

He's not in Montreal so I will take it

 

[1specter]

LOL of course it's Chicago, there is no hockey god. Columbus gets f***ed again and Anaheim who has been shit forever still missing out on first overall.

 

[Nineteen67]

The Central time zone’s biggest market.

 

[Metroid]

Hawks getting the penguins luck.
Wow

 

[Warden of the North]

No, you do the winner first.

I know, but unless I missed it they went from revealing San Jose to just being like "so Columbus is picking third" without showing Daley flipping the card. I wasn't paying 100% attention though.

If it wasnt that, what was the mistake?

 

[Buds17]

Can't say I'm unhappy to learn that Bedard will be going to the West. Chicago certainly tore that team down in the attempt.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Happy it’s Chicago. Out west and not to the Habs or Sens.

 

[htpwn]

He's not in Montreal so I will take it

Or in the East.

Chicago being good is also generally a good thing for the game in the US. I prefer them over an irrelevant market like Anaheim.

Personally was rooting for San Jose, but whatever.

 

[Stephen]

Chicago is an interesting market. Even though they're an Original Six team and support the Chicago Wolves, they don't really seem as natural a hockey market as Detroit, Michigan or Boston, Mass. Illinois doesn't produce a lot of NHL players.

 

[Nineteen67]

Do you mean because they showed CBJ twice?

 

[LaPlante94]

Poor Bedard tbh. Out of Anaheim, Columbus and Chicago the other 2 at least have some talent and prospects that he could've played with right away.

 

[BallardEra]

Bettman ignored my emails to rig it for the Caps.

 

[Superstar]

f***ing Chicago gets Bedard.

Horseshoes up their a55...after losing Kane and Toews, they get Bedard for their rebuild...at least it's not the Habs.

 

[Nineteen67]

i heard them say Columbus and the panel was talking about it, then they showed it after replay. Still, a mess either way.

 

[BallardEra]

Poor Bedard tbh. Out of Anaheim, Columbus and Chicago the other 2 at least have some talent and prospects that he could've played with right away.

I'm sure they'll work on getting some players before the season starts plus now you'll have players that want to sign there going forward.

 

[3blizzard4]

How soon before Oilers fans start hating on Bedard now that he is in the West?

 

[Eternal Leaf]

It's kinda good a generational player gets to play in a big market and in a more reasonable time zone.
