GDT: The Generational 2023 NHL Draft Lottery 5/8 7:00 PM (CT) ESPN

[RememberTheRoar]

I was watching the ESPN broadcast and they revealed picks 16 through 4 and went to commercial with three picks left…they said it’s between two teams Chicago and Anaheim for #1??? What about Columbus I thought? Then when they came back from commercial Daley revealed the #3 pick…Columbus? What ever happened there? Conspiracy stuff gonna be going in now

You really think ESPN was not given the order under embargo? Perfectly reasonable to think that's what happened and Weekes spoke too soon.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Congrats guys!!

go win that cup, just make sure you credit trollhawks for knocking out pittsburgh at the parade

 

[MBH]

LOL.
All those AA haters owe him an apology.
Without AA's late season play, no Bedard.

 

[KPower]

You know they rehearsed this, right?

Not rigged.

I don’t mind hawks fan getting Bedard after the whole fiasco that went on.

 

[blams]

Hi all. Been a long time.


Woke up my 5 week old screaming lmao.

Franchise changer to say the least. Can't believe it.

 

[EdzosCrayon]

Something I just thought about. Was the draft pick last year lottery protected?

I know that you gave up last year's first to Columbus because it wasn't a top 2 pick. But what if it was a top two pick? Would Columbus have the unprotected rights to this 2023 pick? Aka Bedard? If so... y'all just avoided a disaster.

Yeah that pick was top 2 protected and would have been this years pick if that played out. Hard to predict the full butterfly effect though...who knows what we would have done differently as far as trades and free agency had we known Columbus owned our pick this year. But we were going to suck either way so yeah, major disaster avoided for sure, especially after this lotto.

Really happy for your guys sakes that it worked out this way.

Also happy that Columbus got screwed over twice. Truly brings a smile to my face.

 

[ColbyChaos]

I feel bad for Columbus bc they needed this. Ah welll.

f*** Columbus they had bowman giving them shit for years

thanks to stanley for running this team into the ground and forcing davidson into a full teardown, without him rooh would not have been in a position for a generational gdt to land bedard

Kyle Davidson just said that he doesn't get emotional when something good happens to him. He said he never jumped around the house when he got a sick Christmas present as a kid. So when he saw that the team got Bedard he was fine...

NOT ME!!!

WOOOOOOOOO

CONNOOOOOOR BEDARDDDDDD.

Buddy Robinson and Petr Mrazek will get their names on the cup if we can pull it off

Done

 

[puterwiz53]

So excited about this and now really look forward to the draft. Hopefully Davidson has something up his sleeve to pull off more picks for this year and next.

[AmericanDream]

Laz's first article after Hawks draft Bedard "A bad defensive team just got worse".....

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Florida used to be Hawks south at one point so you got a bandwagon fan here

 

[Vergil]

Jesus, the NHL needs to hire that commentator.

 

[hawksfan50]

Hypithetical:

Woukd KD trade the 2023#1 overalll for the 2023 #2 overall from ANH + the AMH 2024 #1pick (unprotected)?
Would ANH even dare offer that and would KD dare accept?

Answer...Never gonna hapoen.. Gary would never allow it after his big fix for Chicago..His Generational Splash for the Chicago market ...sell those Bedard jerseys boys we need HRR to go up ekse the cap don't rise ...start selling the Merch!

I’ve got a whole new perspective on things now. Looking at all the draft capital we’ve accumulated I can’t help but think about trading some of it for complementary pieces.

But let’s avoid trading a first and second for Griffin Reinhart

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

Ahhhhhhhhh!

Uncle Gar! Uncle Gar!

And signing a free agent like Lucic to a silly contract.

Nope. Next year you stay the course.

 

[Blackhawks]
