Its weird seeing teams reactions to losing out on Bedard. The consolation prize is Matvei Michkov, easily the best Russian prospect since Ovie.
Thank you hockey gods

Bettman was annoyed that the ball that was 13 took a long time to pop up.
Nobody in that room can leave until Bill Daly makes the live announcement and that includes Lord Bettman.
Chicago was in full tank mode but still wound up as the #3 seed
But they won 4 games in the last month with an AHL roster

They crippled Calgary on the road April 4th but on April 11th they beat Pittsburgh soundly as the visiting team.
Pittsburgh wins that game the Sunrise Kitties DON'T MAKE THE PLAYOFFS.

That is how you rebuild, generational talent in this draft and all kinds of cap space to either take on new contracts of established players from cap strapped teams (cough Boston cough) or more picks for salary dumps. In five years Hawks may be winning multiple Cups in a small window again.They have Bedard, 7 percent of all 1st and 2nd round picks for the next 3 years and 71 million in cap space 2 years from now. Dats some bulllllshit.
“Generational talent”. Not available every draft. Maybe Bedard’s cousin in 2026 is next, he’s getting hyped up.That is how you rebuild, generational talent in this draft and all kinds of cap space to either take on new contracts of established players from cap strapped teams (cough Boston cough) or more picks for salary dumps.

The draft lottery is just a smoke screen to allow the league to place the #1 overall player where they want. Change my mind.

I think Chicago takes a legitimate run at Matthews at the end of next season. They've got the draft ammo to either trade for him at the deadline, and/or the cap room to sign him long term next summer. Matthews and Bedard on the same team would be wicked.They have Bedard, 7 percent of all 1st and 2nd round picks for the next 3 years and 71 million in cap space 2 years from now.
