They have perhaps the best prospects in the league and tons of draft picks in the next 2 years.
Getting Knight has likely filled in the missing large piece of their young puzzle.
They look to be further ahead than SJ, who have a better crop of young forwards, but are severely lacking on the back end. But forwards are easier to find than dmen.

To set the record straight, I was joking.
I don’t think there is any circumstance in which Chicago would entertain trading Bédard. Certainly not for a draft pick even if it was 1OA. Nor do I think SJ will trade their pick.
My intent was to make light of the type of discourse/‘rumours’ we see around this time of year.
