It's going to be those games against Pittsburgh, and Boston that are going to be the biggest kicks to the personals if the Hawks don't end up with Bedard. Kevin is right, can't fault the players for trying to win every time out, it's on the superior teams that chose to mail in the efforts in those games. I'm sure there were other games like those two, I just can't remember them right now. You fine Canadian lads, is Fantili going to be a legit consolation pick, provided the Hawks end up with the 2nd pick ?

Hawks end up 31st overall...had JT scored that OT goal, they would have dropped another 2 spots.
So what do they have, a 13.5% shot at Bedard?

I’ll take those odds. More than likely they have to decide if the Russian is worth the wait. Best case scenario is they can find a team that wants the Russian and trade down.

They would need to be at 2 for Fantilli. At 3 you can debate the Swede versus the Cossack.

I would really hope that after woman's college basketball embarrassed the NHL in viewership that Bettman sees the value in a good Chicago team. Bedard to the Blackhawks makes all the sense in the world. Make it happen Bettman, swing your balls this way!

Bedard with Zegras would scratch that itch for the little twitcher, if he has one.

I’d keep Fantilli in NCAA for one more season if that’s how the balls go. Helps the Hawks tank for 2024 as well. Also don’t need to Dach him.

Could have been a total storybook ending if JT had scored or hadn't choked on that breakaway for the game winning goal. The UC would have gone into a Stanley Cup decibel mode.
