Just wanted to show that just cause a writer writes something doesnt make it true.

The comments were just trying to drive up his price. Chicago GM didn’t want to be backed into a corner by everyone knowing he’s got to move him

Love the liberal logic. Cant defend a truthful statement or facts so you revert to grammar police. Lol

if they did trade him it would be the all time most hilarious thing ever, would love to see Balotelli spin it as the 'best thing ever'.

I would be ecstatic. I don't know if you were here but when Kane a Toews were in Chicago he would always poke his head talk sheet and basically be as arrogant as can be. Especially in the playoff series where they knocked out backes. He was insufferable to say the least, so i would baskin the glory if that happened

At some point Chicago has to start winning hockey games for their rebuild to actually work.

Bedard might say he understands but he is hardly content with the state of that present franchise and it will be interesting how he handles his RFA next year if this year is yet another dud.

It's year four of a complete teardown rebuild and almost all of the picks since then will be on the team next season. Not sure what you expected...what team has pulled off a complete teardown quicker than 5 or 6 years?

While this was a poorly used article to start this. Chicago fans should start to be a bit worried. Chicago feels 5 years away from exiting the rebuild, and not a sure thing 5 years. Bright side is if it is 5 years Bedard should be 25 and have 3 years left on an 8 year deal then.

Not many I guess.

My point is about how many teams have never pulled it off after 6-8-10 years and can that be on the minds of important players who spend precious years doing it.

He/others claim to understand...but in time they might start understanding other ways and options just as well.

Not one fan I know is worried...only the people that don't pay attention like bandwagon clowns and complete outsiders are.

I am from Chicago and most of the family is still there. There are people worried or these articles wouldn't exist.

I am not saying Bedard is leaving. I am saying I know lifelong Hawks fans who are concerned. And hot the bandwagon "we won a cup" crowd. The rebuild isn't looking like a full plan. At least not yet.

Edit to add an article from today on the theme of the Chicago rebuild - https://www.bleachernation.com/blackhaw ... -timeline/

The article in the OP is trash and only people that barely understand the English language think he's asking for a trade after reading that.

Worry away if he goes into the season without a deal - until then all speculation is stupid. Spencer Knight and Nazar needs deals too and haven't signed yet....start up the rumor mill!

1000% now all we here is how great every move they make is and how amazing these prospects are. Maybe I just don't know how a 'rebuild' works but I think at some point you're supposed to, you know, improve. Especially after drafting jesus himself!! They've been 10th or worse in the West every year since 2017. 14th or 15th every year since 2021.
