If Chicago is smart, bridge him with the MacKinnon deal and see where he trends.
Mackinnon didn't bridge. Unless you're just referring to the cap hit. Mackinnon contract after the ELC was 7 years.

If Bedard is smart he will take a 2 year bridge. I'm sure Chicago would love to lock him up longer for less.
 
Canucks will offer him a one year $18 million/max offer sheet. Hawks won't match, Canucks will then re-sign him to an 8 year deal with an average similar to Pettersson.
Why would he want to sign with the Canucks ? Doesn’t their best players want out? I’m unsure of the second question as I could’ve read that on HF boards
 
Depends on whether you think you're paying him to be a center or a winger. If the former it's 11-12M AAV, if the latter, it's probably 9-10.5M AAV.
 
I think if your Chicago you need to take advantage of the underwelming start relative to expectations. 8 yrs times 10.5-11 mil. If bedard only wants 5 yrs like matthews 5 yrs times 9 mil
 
Has he ever played wing in the NHL?
That's whole point. I don't think he will stay at Center for his career. So it's just a matter of whether Chicago believes he can or not. For me, he's too under-sized to handle the 1C role in the NHL and would be better off moving to the wing, like he did for Canada in the WJC where he was super effective.
