Zach Jarom: Game Day: Hawks vs Pens, Return of Bedard?

First 1-3-3-2-1
The kid is itching to get out there, but I doubt the management is putting caution is to the wind.
He should be in a full mask, but this kid lives for the ice the stick and the shot, and this is all he ever wants to do. He will start trying to remove that obstacle by the end of the first period.

His absence has aided staying in Celebrini 25% Lottery region, so thanks kid, and ease into play slowly...

No conditioning stint in Rockford?

This would explain Pitlick being waived, if Bedard is coming back tongiht.

Will Stan get interviewed for the Blue Jacket GM gig?

Next expansion franchise will have Stan Bowman as President of Hockey Ops with Jarmo as his GM.

Stan's waiting for the Blues job to open.

That would be career suicide after his first career suicide.

I doubt any team would consider a guy who has three Stanley cup rings.

As you're well aware, those rings really belong to Uncle Dale, aka, The Builder.

No conditioning stint in Rockford?
- Dieselhead

I think he needs a solid 30-40 game conditioning stint in Rockford.

His first call would be to KD to ask how much for Seth Jones, amirite?

If only he was old enough to play there. It'll have to happen on his old junior team.

Speaking of the draft, the Hawks have Ottawa's 3rd round pick in 2024 from the Debrincat trade. In 2022 they took Korchinski and Ludwinski. With the 3rd in '24 they should definitely take Joshua Zakreski.

I believe he can play in the AHL on a conditioning stint, Shane Wright did it in the first year after being drafted by the Kraken.

They traded a cat for a pair of skis, so I think it's not mandatory.

But it would be a nice combo of Korbustski, Ludbustski, and Zakbustski.

Sounds like Connor Bedard will indeed make a surprise early return against the Penguins tonight. Can’t wait to hear the crowd reaction.

As of Monday, Luke Richardson thought Bedard wouldn’t be available until next week. We’ll find out later what changed.

Really odd that they are letting him play tonight.
Probably plays with the fish bowl?

The Hawks are only 2 points behind San Jose (with 1 more game played), that gap needs to significantly increase.

Good idea to bring him back against one of the softest teams in the league. You can bet if they were playing the Panthers, they'd wait a game. Should be an easy warm up game for Bedard.

Talking draft picks.
We know that KD is loathe to trade draft picks. At least not any time soon if ever.

Of course the Penguins might just ask for a first round pick for Guentzal. The offer after Penguins finish a short playoff run. There might be a short period - of - time whereas Guentzsl could sign or become a free agent


The Penguins would accept any first round choice. Any
