Speculation: Will Bedard receive multiple offer sheets?

Why wouldnt the leafs offer him 12 x7
They wont because then the hawks will match and it upsets the whole good ole boy hockey infrastructure
You could argue bedard is as good as marner now
With more character and fan appeal

Before we even get into that, how many good teams have all of their first round picks for the next 4 seasons? And Chicago, while terrible in the standings, isn't quite the same disaster that everyone thinks it is.

He seems like an awful target:

1.He has proven nothing so far
2.He would be in the 4 1st range and you'd handicap your team offering him 11.5+ million which would easily be matched by Chicago

Where exactly could he flourish? On a team close to or slightly in the playoffs? So there's like 2-3 teams that could make the offer and it would kinda make sense?

Again it goes back to why Chicago wouldn't match it? It just prolongs their rebuild getting nothing tangible back but cap space that would go unused as who would want to go to them without Bedard?

He would flourish on the Panthers, centering coronel rats Tkachuk & Bennett....

The offer sheet would be coming in July 2026 so the comps would start with 2027.

Best as I can tell the only teams that have already dealt away first round picks 2027 or later are Toronto (Laughton deal), Tampa (Gourde Bjorkstrand deal), Florida (Marchand deal conditions met), and Dallas (Rantanen deal)

If Chicago says no he can seek out an offer sheet or the moment he gets arbitration rights he can go 1-2 years at a time.

He looks miserable in Chicago and Chicago has no leverage to force him beyond RFA years.

Such a cute little assumption. Bedard like any competitive star wants to win but is well aware of the good few years it takes for a 1st OA to have a team around him that can contend. Look at how long Barkov had to go before getting a cup, Mckinnon and then there's McD and Drai still waiting ... it's part of the reality.

This thread definitely shows the lack of general knowledge as to where the Blackhawks organization is at, and the plan for the team.

Bedard knows where this team is going, what it takes to get there, and will be resigned for an 8-year deal.

Looking forward to the coming years when people realize how Chicago is taking its time building a winning roster.

Bruh you shouldn't be so condescending with the "cute little" comment it isn't a good look.

Perhaps you should look up the word assumption in the dictionary, since you are assuming that I was assuming something when I wasn't.

I looked at his face on TV when they zoom in on him, he looks miserable, doesn't mean he for sure is, but his body language is textbook bad/not happy. That's not an assumption, it's an observation.

He doesn't have to commit to an 8 year deal as people are saying, he could force 1 years or an offer sheet if he wants. Not even to leave on 1 years could be he wants to wait and see before committing.
 
Yes.

I think he should be offer sheeted if he's available. 100%. Yes it's a risk, but also a risk wiht huge potential upside. For the right franchise, it's 100% worth it.

Apologies if my "cute little assumption " hurt your feelings. Your comment " He looks miserable in Chicago" while an observation about being miserable is an assumption it's being in Chicago. No need for dictionaries.

That’s actually an assumption based on an observation.

Lmfao It didn't hurt my feelings i grew up on a construction site in the bush nothing you could say could hurt my feelings.

It makes you come off as an ass without manners and would get you a talking to where I grew up since you clearly didn't have those talks growing up thought I'd let you know that it was rude.

Accept your acting like an ass and are wrong.

We don't for sure know why he is unhappy but if it is the blackhawks current sad state of affairs he can force his way out if he wants. Nothing I said is an opinion or assumption. They are possible outcomes
 
To those saying you wouldnt give up 4 firsts.. if you have cap space and a team thats a damn near playoff lock (LA, Carolina, Minnesota, Winnipeg come to mind) you'd absolutely do it. Those 4 1sts will be in the 16-32 range for those teams. You aren't trading them for a better rental than you'd get with Bedard on a 5 year contract.

5 years of a near point per game player is absolutely worth 4 middling firsts. Best case scenario he's happy and you get to re-sign him after again too.

Realistically Chicago matches regardless. But I'd bet he'll be begging teams to sign him to a deal that walks him to UFA.

An offer sheet with the term that takes him to UFA status might be very attractive to him, on multiple levels. Forced the Hawks to match, and he gets the term needed to be a UFA when the contract is done.

Bedard hasnt lived up to his hype, and he won the Rookie of the year on his reputation not his NHL play.
Celebrini put up a (slightly) better rookie season and seems to be a much more complete player and finished 3rd in ROY voting.

who would you take if starting a team Bedard or Celebrini?

I'm not saying he's a 'bust' (though compared to his hype he is) but he certainly isnt the 2nd coming of McDavid, then ask yourself, would you be willing to commit big $$ and 4 1sts on him?

people were expecting Pavel Bure offense from this poor kid, he has a great shot and is pretty slick, but, he certainly should not be playing C... maybe as a winger he'd have far better numbers that he has so far!!
 
An offer sheet of 2 x $11.7m would be interesting for a team expecting to be in the playoffs and wants to cause some chaos.

2 x late 1sts, a 2nd and a 3rd isn't going to get you a good, young player that could well still be a star. If you're a team like Carolina, you'd give that up and I'd say Chicago will want to only offer $8.5m or so x 8 right now.

Chicago would match 2 x $11.7m, but they'll need to trade him before he hits free agency.

Bedard could take the 2 year deal and get paid 1/3 of the 8-year contract offer in 1/4 of the time. The attraction is then getting paid at 22 years old for 7 years, then another big contract at 29.

$23m before 22
$50m-$60m minimum at 22
Another $50m+ at 29.

And that's just based on him being a 60 point player.

It won't happen though as the league is pretty boring.
