I can almost sense Bedard wanting out of this team if they don't even make it out of the bottom 5 again this season. His career won't be lauded but ridiculed if he continues playing there.
Guaranteed that if again there is no improvement, when his entry level contract ends, he won't sign a new one.
JESSE PLAKE
Winning the Bedard lottery was actually bad timing for the Hawks. It started a timer running just as the rebuild was starting. You need to have your defense and 2nd 3rd line guys "cooking" a bit before you bottom out and try to get your franchise forwards.
The biggest names to watch for the Hawks this year at the NHL level are far and away Rinzel and Levshunov. Bedard and Nazar are established, Frondell is going to be another major add next season, and there's still a chance for Moore to make a major name for himself this year. But those two can make or break the vibe of the Blackhawks this year at the blue line.
Over, eighth in the division.
I love that the last game the sharks won of the year was against the leafs and the game was a month before the season ended.
There will come a day when the whole league will know Nazar's name and will finally pronounce it correctly.
The Blackhawks will have way more than 67 points.
I'd say that 24 is youngish for a goaltender, lol. Toews and Kane were on the Blackhawks 2 years ago.
Lottery team again. With constant growth. Youth infusion upon us. And McKenna …?
San jose has several prospects playing and are further along.. bedard was alone lol
Less than five years ago? Jesse. Less than three
That was a refreshing take. It's nice to hear a generally realistic assessment of the Hawks' rebuild situation from outside of the local Chicago media, for a change. That being said, I'm glad they had "bad vibes" last season. It was a sign that losing isn't acceptable, and things shouldn't be fun. As for Bedard looking miserable, it's because he was in the effin' penalty box! Of course he was unhappy! Sheesh.
