Last night the fate of young Connor Bedard was decided at the NHL Draft Lottery. Nashville Predators fans will have to deal with the generational talent often as he will be drafted by the Chicago Blackhawks in the Central Division. There were big reactions across the NHL after the lottery show, and today we talk about the story behind Bedard – why it isn’t just “sour grapes” that has so many fans frustrated by the results of the lottery. Was the draft lottery rigged to favor a big American franchise? We debate this conspiracy theory. The Blackhawks winning the Bedard sweepstakes brings up big feelings about another Blackhawks storyline, and we discuss why Gary Bettman’s handing of that situation still reverberates seasons later. What do the draft lottery results means for the Nashville Predators? We discuss what the Preds might do with their #15 pick and plenty of draft capital when the NHL draft happens in June at Bridgestone Arena.

It looked like the graphic department revealed Blackhawks won since they put a star next to the Blackhawks before they announced the pick
Really was hoping San Jose would win the lottery….that's a good franchise that has fallen on hard times.
I'm disgusted. There one team that didn't deserve 1 st, got it. What a message that sends
BOO HOO HOO HOO, preds weren't going to win the lottery anyway.
I would agree with the O6 corruption argument if Edmonton didn’t have the 2 best players in the league right now.
I’m glad for Chicago fans, but that’s pretty much it. I feel bad for Kyle Beach, I can’t imagine how he feels watching all of this, essentially erasing the fine/scandal. In a few years the hawks will win another cup and no one will remember anymore than they remember the Maple Leaf Gardens sexual assaults or Tiger Williams sexual assault case, it’s really disheartening that the worst behaviour gets rewarded, now Quenneville and Bowman will likely come back as well, it’s like the league is just pretending the Beach situation never happened.
Hawks fans deserve this the city deserves it the coach and gm deserve it keep cryin about it we love it
awwww, would yous like some cheese with your whine 🧀🍷
I only wish Rinne was still in the league so Bedard could torture him like, Hossa, Kane, Toews and Sharp did for ten years
any team, literally ANY OTHER TEAM deserved this, not them
What a load of sour grapes
Let’s go blackhawks!!
Chicago said they sold over 1.9mil in season tickets hours after winning the Bedard contest.
Pred fan salt is what sustains me.
How are the Predators a rival of the Hawks? What have they won?
I love that sports leagues disapproves of tanking but then the NHL gave up a generational talent to one of the most blatant tank jobs we have ever seen. This is why people say f your morals. Original 6 love.
And now Bedard is forced to live in that toilet that is Chicago.
