Chicago is such a mess, even with Bedard, they are probably looking at a 3-5 year rebuild at best. Coincidentally, after this season, McDavid has 3 seasons left in Edmonton before he surely bolts (Draisaitl only 2). The Oilers may have to decide after the 2nd McDavid year whether or not they should walk him to free agency or trade him.
By the time the Hawks are an elite contender, the Oilers will probably be saying goodbye to their phenom.
