It was eventually verified that Conor Bedard signed with the Chicago Blackhawks during a selection lottery. Chicago has the first pick, so it’s clear he’ll be picked first although the organization hasn’t been confirmed…
The question of who he should play with is now expected in Chicago as another crucial decision. It wouldn’t have the same effect if he played alone on the rink as it would with a talented player.
On Twitter, a commercial proposal was made in which Mitch Marner plays on the Bédard line.
“listen to me:
Chicago gets:
Mitch Marner
Matt MurrayToronto gets:
Drew is a salesman
Frank Nizar
Luke Richell
19th pick overall.”
The cost of acquiring Marner is great, as you’d expect. To get the star, the Hawks will have to drop promising young players and high picks.
With these two players coming out of Toronto, Chicago will be in a position to compete as soon as possible next season.
What’s most exciting about this proposal is to see Marner on Bédard’s side. This would be a dangerous duet every night.
Now, are the Blackhawks willing to pay the price?

Total nineteenFoliage gets its own cover space, and Hawks gets a fun wing for Bedard.
