And if he pulls a Dickinson and rebounds with more ice-time and another year of recovery, they can probably turn him into another asset at some point.

Bedard was almost PPG as an 18-year-old and could hit 90 points next year. Chicago should be throwing 1xHuge Money contracts at people to take advantage of these cheap ELC years, not fooling around with these types of trades.
