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

[No Fun Shogun]

We’re a lot more than a piece away even with Bedard. Draft smart and try to attract free agents. That’s the model.

 

[JaegerDice]

Stay the course!

You need an ARMY. Lets get the second half of the new Toews/Kane

 

[Hattrick Kane]

LMAOOOOOO THIS IS INCREDIBLE I AM SO HAPPY

First for you?

 

[AmericanDream]

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!

What....the.....f***.....

 

[Pez68]

I hope people start to appreciate just how lucky we are as Blackhawks fans. Just as the previous generation of superstars are retiring and leaving, the Hawks get a player like Bedard. Going right from Kane to Bedard is amazing.

 

[AmericanDream]

Nope. Next year you stay the course.

Yep. I also feel that Tampa pick is going to look even better. That team is now trending down and could be a top 15 pick next year.

Bring in enough talent this year to not be terrible (still a top 10 pick) then start going all in after next season with 2 more first rounders and a shit ton of cap space.

 

[southsideIrish]

What a break for the Hawks. Been following junior hockey for years and Bedard is one of those very rare true superstars. Very exciting!

He's the goods. Not sure if he reaches McDavid levels of ridiculousness, but the sky is the limit for him. He lives and breathes hockey, much like Kane.

Knane, Domi & AA?

 

[clydesdale line]

I immediately thought of that picture right after the Hawks won it. I hope Korchinski and company are calling Bedard right now and giggling like kids they get to play on the same team.

 

[Muffinalt]

All tgat suffering this season better be worth it...alk tgevoressure on tge kid now to be Generational...Bedard looks younger than his age..Hard to believe tgey will pkay homagaibst men i tge show. .Better Plan...let us loan him to axeuro club this season and Tank again for Celebrini or Eiserman in 2024..


Bedard orcno Bedard...any team with defensive buns lije $9.5 and Connor Barfy (Murphy) is still gonna finish bottom 7 at least.Anotger year of suffering is called for ...keep the the kid AWAY from our lousy vets..HE isxtoo young to okay in the AHL ...but can we koan hom to a euro club? Not sure Maybe do notcsign him now.. wait till end of next season then his agent can sign hom with a European club to hide himand we can Tank i peace again?

This stoll smells to me lijexa Gary fix the Chicago Market for goid of the league idea..but tge reality is even with Brdard we will stink this season..Sure hexwoll help our pp and provide a bit of show..but he ain't that great defensively so gonna be a lotvof pucks into back of our net...Can his mind take alk that losing?
I think we gotta protect him from that experience as we suffered so mich this last season and realistically will again.

Happy birthday Fiddy. No better present than this.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

this team needs another top 3 pick or two, we need ammo to compete for cups, ideally we land another elite top line forward and then a norris caliber defenseman, see where the rest of the pool is in a couple years, let Bedard dictate if this thing should be sped up or not by how he plays but don't try to rush it, build it the right way...every cup team in recent years had multiple top 3 picks other than STL but we saw how sustainable that run was

 

[Kevin Musto]

 

[Toews2Bickell]

 

[clydesdale line]

So now the plan is to get the #19 overall pick now... and for Bedard's boy (and @Kevin Musto 's boy) Cristall to slide to #19 and Bedard hinself announces it

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I hope people start to appreciate just how lucky we are as Blackhawks fans. Just as the previous generation of superstars are retiring and leaving, the Hawks get a player like Bedard. Going right from Kane to Bedard is amazing.

This generation of Hawk fans will never know the absurdity of clinging to ABC line as future of franchise.

makes up for the 8 years of dogshit and stan running the entire org into the ground

God no

 

[Putt Pirate]

God no

Yeah. I am with you. We could do better than him in That slot.

I see that as karma for their handling of the Beach situation, so.

Agreed luckily karma didn’t last a lot longer

 

[clydesdale line]

I actually like Cristall as a prospect, but would rather have Yager, Perreault, etc. Give me some skill AND grit.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

fans had nothing to do with that stuff so speaking from fanbase perspective, we watched stan evaporate a cup contending core into nothing slowly and almost miserably, and then we missed out on every player this board wanted year after year by a matter of picks, finally things fall the way we wanted, this team has been top pick bad since 2018 and a tank paid off in a year that mattered

 

[Putt Pirate]

I actually like Cristall as a prospect, but would rather have Yager, Perreault, etc. Give me some skill AND grit.

Exactly. We need players for different roles on top of Bedard, etc.

 

[DaveMatthew]

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

Want Debrincat back? We’ll take Reichel and our 2nd…
