  1. I'm all for getting one of the hypest players in recent memory in Chicago… But what are the odds two Chicago Teams get the number 1 pick in the same year? Conspiracy theorists unite they gave Chicago this…again no complaining but it's too much of a coincidence based on the odds alone

  2. I call bullcrap.
    When Kane was picked first overall, the Hawks had an 8% chance of landing
    the franchise changer and somehow it magically happened.
    Now history repeats itself.
    F the Hawks!

  3. A crappy teams turns it around with the luck of a draw. Like the Bears, they will be good again.

  4. Not deserved, they should do the right thing and pass on Bedard….and change that racist logo.

  5. RIGGED NHL BINGO BALL GATE 🎉😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 NOT HOCKEY GODS SMILED ..BETMAN DID HAHHAHHAH

  6. Bedard is on another level, It might be a bad year next year, but think about what they are gonna go through next season , They will find his running mate in the 2024 draft , to make a run at cups.

  7. So scary! I am shocked that Bettman allows Chicago Blackhawks to get first overall pick. They should have band this franchise from being part of this lottery.

  8. You don't have to think about appeasing the fans. Do the right thing for the continual building of the rebuild. Don't rush this. The only reason you would bring in some veteran skill for a year or 2 like when the Hawks brought in Robert Lang and Havlat Kane/Toews rookie year is to help Bedard.

  9. Let me tell you I've been to 15 Regina pats games this season and as soon as Bedard has the puck you have that feeling that something spectacular can happen. It's the same feeling when McDavid has the puck. The UC is going to be on fire watching this phenom.

  10. The first thing that Kyle Davidson should do since the Hawks won the Bedard sweepstakes is to call up Jonathan Toews, apologize for dumping him in the trash bin, and sign him for at least 2 more years. If you really want Bedard to become the superstar he is meant to be, you need the proven leadership of Toews to plant the seed of success. Toews is a bona fide winner and one of the greatest Blackhawks ever to wear the Hawks jersey (despite Davidson's lack of understanding of how important Toews is!). Who else to pass the baton onto Bedard and another run at a bunch of Cups. Davidson almost blew it with the lottery and lets make sure he does not jeopardize Bedard's career in Chicago. I have no real confidence that Davidson is the right person for the GM position and there needs to be a concerted effort to make sure Connor Bedard is provided the wisdom, hard work and tenacity that Toews brought every night as a Blackhawk!

  11. Wow 8 picks in the first 2 rounds with the 2nd round guys that would be first rounders in most drafts the future is bright in Chicago I wouldn’t trade any picks based on the potential
