(preds fan btw)

It would have been hilarious and terrifying if the Blackhawks got the first pick again. Connor Bedard is good but isn't good enough to carry the Blackhawks into the playoffs. Once the team gets built up around him though the Blackhawks are gonna be a top tier team.

I have no clue if this is a hot take or not, but the Hawks won't win a cup with Bedard. For the same reasons the Oilers won't with McDavid and the Leafs won't with Matthews. Assuming he develops as everyone expects, by the time they're competitive, Bedard's AAV is gonna be 12-15M (or whatever the equivalent cap % is when he signs his contract). You just can't have a full, well rounded team when paying a single player that much. The closest we've had to a generational talent winning the cup in the last 14 years was MacKinnon with the Avs, but he was making a solid 8M less than hhe was worth.

As a Sharks fan, I am ready to be disappointed tonight.

Good luck! I actually did the math on how "lucky/unlucky" each team had been relative to the actual draft odds, and as I recall San Jose had been one of the least lucky so they are due! (Arizona/Utah had been even less lucky though)

Same but justice was served
