Bring back Kane
This was the perfect opportunity to sell a 1st pick. The deals they could’ve got from him! Instead, they’re stuck with a guy who’ll never be anything special in the NHL. GMs have no vision, they go with the trends and what’s expected from them, and avoid taking real risks; i would’ve sold his ass to the highess bidder and made my team better right now with sure things
He belongs to Canucks!!
The only person in the room who's surprised is Connor Bedard.
I think it's really unfair that Pittsburgh isn't getting Bedard. It's been 18 years since they got a 1st overall pick, they deserve it way more than Chicago.
Man that day 1 game of Crosby vs Bedard is gonna be sick! I'm actually happy that my Oilers & Habs are not playing that day so I can watch this game.
Chicago is playing all the Top teams in their first 10 games. Going to be hell of a start for Bedard to show off his skills, and not vs bottom tier teams
I reffed this kid in the CSSHL at West Van. Believe the hype. He was 13-14 absolutely dominating 17 year olds twice his size. No fear, sick hands, absolutely insane player
It's wild to me how good of a guy he seems to be. Actually seems like a humble genuine mature dude in every interview.
Dude always look awkard, franchise player but wtv
Grandpa is watching from above. Congrats!!!
He looks so young
Bedard is going to get eaten alive. To much hype. Ive watched him and Mcdavid play at the Jr level live many times. Mcdavid was on a much higher level.
Look at Colin Fraser up there with the front office
It just looks so right seeing him in that blackhawks jersey. They better not change the name or logo. It’s too iconic at this point.
rigged..
congrats. now stay away from video coaches
Man i was him id kill myself on stage
Trade him to Vancouver where he belongs
He will be a bust.
good pick, now trade him before he tells them off.
