Blackhawks win NHL draft lottery, get to pick Connor Bedard | |
SECAUCUS, N.J. (AP) Connor Bedard is going to the Chicago Blackhawks thanks to a big win in the NHL draft lottery that could alter the future of the storied Original Six franchise. The Blackhawks won the lottery Monday night for the right to choose Bedard, the league's most anticipated drawing since Connor McDavid in 2015. Bedard as a generational talent has drawn comparisons to McDavid and three-time Stanley Cup champion and two-time playoff MVP Sidney Crosby, whom he idolized growing up. Chicago will try to get back to hockey's mountaintop with Bedard as the new face of the franchise, replacing departed stars Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews who combined to help them win the Cup three times from 2010-2015. After committing last year to a full-scale rebound, this is the Blackhawks' first lottery win since 2007 when they got Kane. MORE | |
