Montreal hasn’t had a ppg player since 2007/08 when Kovalev had 84 points in 82 games. Last Montreal player with a 100 point or more season was Mats Naslund in 1985/86.
If Montreal doesn’t win I hope Columbus, San Jose or Philadelphia wins the lottery.

The Flyers really need to put him down in the AHL for 5 years, bring him up to the NHL only to disappoint because they let him stagnate, and eventually trade him

The Canucks do BUT THEY FUCKED THAT UP DIDN’T THEY BECAUSE THEY’RE THE FUCKING CANUCKS AND THAT’S WHAT THEY DO MOTHER FUCKING FUCKERS!!!!

As a hawks fan I would love it

Have a feeling chicago lands him. Another chance at a top player to lead their franchise for years
Spiritual_Holiday511
Hoping for Montreal or Columbus, simply because they are trying to make their teams better, but failed. Mostly Columbus, because what in the hell has that franchise ever had to get excited about?
JayArseneau
Montreal, suzuki is excellent but Bedard would put them in a way higher seat

San Jose. For being one of the worst teams, their prospect pool is mediocre. Past Eklund, their best prospect is B tier

Depends on how you word it.
Who needs him the most based on the roster that the teams are icing day in and day out? Probably the Hawks, Sharks, or Flyers. Blue Jackets will be better when their players come back from injury. Ducks, Habs, Canucks, and Coyotes have promising young kids.
Who deserves him? Coyotes or Blue Jackets if we are going by team success in the last 20 years.

Please be CBJ so years of cheering for them finally pays off

Love to see him as a Hab, I’ll be ok with him ending up as a Shark or Duck, No to the Blackhawks for obvious reasons and no to the Flyers and Bluejackets as they have squandered their young talent far to many times

Here’s my totally unbiased opinion: The Habs. Don’t @ me.
Dkoop2003
The Jackets have only ever had one superstar, and have never won the lottery despite sucking for years. They definitely deserve him the most. That being said, he will go to Chicago or Montreal since they are big markets, and the NHL hates Columbus for whatever reason
Envermans
Columbus and philly desperately need an elite no1 center and i really hope either of them get it. Chicago can fade into irrelevence for another 5 years before getting a chance at another eliter player. Ducks and montreal already have a solid young core to build on. San jose could definitely use him but they also had 20 years of dominance so they can also wallow in the bottom of the league for a few more years before having a resurgence.
VinegarPie
The Sharks.
If we don’t get him. Literally where do we go from where we are? Saddled with so many bad contracts it’s unreal and we only have one good prospect, maybe two.

stoopio-oh
As a totally unbiased opinion, Iāll say the ducks
LukeSkywalker6409
I think CBJ and San Jose need him the most. CBJ needs a franchise-changing player and Connor Bedard would give them that. San Jose I think could use a franchise-changing playing as well. They have no blue-chip prospects coming up and Bedard would give them a potential superstar to build around.

West coast pls. Pretty pls (Iām lumping Vancouver into the west coast too ok)
Porkchopp33
I would love to see him in Anaheim some goal scoring for poor Gibson but best for league probably Montreal
yo_coiley
Who needs him the most? In terms of prospect pool/young players, Flyers, Blackhawks, Sharks. If you include the context of the teamās relevance and/or ability to attract free agents, BJs and Ducks 100%. Montreal (to round out whoās on this pic) will be fine without him.

Good thing the Canucks are on a 5 game winning streak and have removed themselves from this race. Brilliant…..

I donāt know about NEED, but Iād most like to see him go to either Columbus or Anaheim. Iād be ok with SJ too since Iād get to see him play more than if he was out east
psyopsono
Selfishly, as a Chicago resident I would love to be able to see him play at the United Center. However, if not the Hawks, I would say Iād most like to see him on the Sharks, itās high time that team is a threat again.
micropterus_dolomieu
To change the face and fate of the franchise, Iād like to see him in SJ or Columbus. Sort of like Pittsburgh before Mario.
notonmywatch99
Without a shadow of a doubt Arizona. They need something to get fans in an actual arena. And hosting a last place team year after year aināt helping lol
All these teams need him, but Arizonas future in this League could depend on it and thatās the difference
Regnes
I would consider it karma if Vancouver finally won the draft after over 50 years.
DL1395
I really hope Columbus wins the draft lottery and gets him…that franchise has had a rough go of it for pretty much their entire existence, they deserve a superstar.
Blues fan here but hopefully any team but Chicago gets him, but I’m mentally preparing myself for it.

Columbus and Anaheim. Hopefully Anaheim.

Honestly, the Coyotes probably do. None of the other teams are in real danger of moving, and the Yotes getting a generational talent might finally be what they need to get off the ground as a franchise.

I hope he ends up in Anaheim and SJ. I think he will end up in Philly or Chicago.
