Stellick: “So Elliotte, final week, we left you with homework, and even every week later, like, I’m wanting on the Chicago Blackhawks state of affairs once more. Connor Bedard, the El Gordo plus minus police, is accumulating the summons for being minus three or worse. Like who would have thought two years into it that he could be displaying this sort of frustration in Chicago? I don’t know if he stepped again, no matter you need to time period is after which I sort of mentioned to you.
NHL Rumors: Will Connor Bedard Sign a New Deal with the Chicago Blackhawks This Summer?
Properly, we thought he’d be getting a second contract like Auston Matthews did, or Connor McDavid did a 12 months prematurely. So, I imply, what’s the thin on that state of affairs? Folks say, Oh, they’re going to get huge free brokers. Properly, huge free brokers don’t like going to organizations that aren’t successful. So I’m curious, two years after a story that I actually didn’t count on for Connor Bedard, the way in which issues have gone in Chicago.”
Friedman: “I simply assume that the opposite factor, too, now, Gordie, is I need to know if he’s going to attend to see what the brand new CBA is. Anyone had an excellent level to me. They mentioned, what if? Why would you signal earlier than the brand new CBA is finished? Now, I believe the brand new CBA, it might be carried out. I do know they’d find it irresistible. Bettman has mentioned he’d like to get it carried out for the beginning of the Stanley Cup Remaining. He does a media convention yearly at the beginning of the Stanley Cup Remaining Recreation 1, and he mentioned on the Board of Governors assembly in October or September, each time it was, that he would like to have it carried out by then.
Now, that is perhaps overly formidable. I’m undecided that’s going to be doable, however it’s not it’s not not possible, and it’s both going to get carried out this 12 months or early subsequent 12 months, I believe. However somebody mentioned to me, why would anybody signal earlier than that? Simply to see possibly if something adjustments? Now, in the event you get an concept that the foundations aren’t going to vary, you then don’t do it. However I did have somebody say to me for a star, for one of many prime gamers, and Bedard is the franchise participant in Chicago, may you wait to see if any guidelines change?
I believed that was an fascinating perspective as a result of it makes me surprise what precisely individuals are excited about right here. However I believe this like, I agree together with your level. Lots of gamers don’t need to go locations that aren’t successful the highest gamers. However the different factor too, Gordy is that take a look at all the blokes who’re beginning to come off the market, and that’s going to make the competitors much more fierce.
The primary man proper now could be (Mitch) Marner, and I don’t know that he’s going to go to Chicago, however I do know the competitors for him goes to be fierce if he will get there. However aside from that, like I’m it, and what number of true, actual distinction makers are going to be out there in free company, and in the event you take a look at Chicago I imply, they tried surrounding Bedard with some veterans, and it hasn’t gone very effectively.
