Teuvo Teravainen heading to Chicago? It really can't be understated how much players want to play with Connor Bedard. This is a huge factor heading in July 1.

He did win a cup in Chicago. Maybe he has fond memories?

Bingo. Guys aren't lining up to play in Chicago because of Bedard. But if you overpay me - Foligno, Athanasiou, Hall, Mrazek - then I'll sign on as a stop gap during the rebuild. It's nothing more than that. Everyone has a price. But this makes it sound like Chicago is a top destination and guys are taking a discount to play with Bedard. Not the case whatsoever.

Agreed. Hopefully there will come a time when guys are willing to take a discount to win a Cup with Bedard but that's still a few years away.

Not happening. The hawks front office is determined to build within. They are going to trade or sign guys in line with a foligno to hold down the fort until the kids are ready to go. This would go against what Davidson stated he would do when he took over the GM role for the Blackhawks. This would be a bowman type of move.

I don't think so on both assertions.

Why is playing with Bedard a bigger factor than a dozen or so other more established stars. Wouldn't UFAs be just as interested, if not more interested, to play with McDavid, MacKinnon, Matthews, Kucherov, Pastrnak, Hughes, and on and on. Why sign in Chicago and lose 50 games?

Money?
