They are right on schedule.
Chicago did not tank for Bedard. They tanked for great draft picks.

They have no insulators for their young guys.
I know the hubbub about Bedard wanting to leave is all probably BS, but it does show that there's probably some frustration from players that the team has been god awful for a few years in a row.
You need vets and quality middle-age players to help those young players realize their potential. And now, in order to get those older players to insulate their young guys, they'll have to use all the accrued draft capital and prospects to get them unless they overpay in Free Agency.
