The Canucks can only move up in a fake draft lottery LOL

Be bad for Bedard is the message here. Any front offices looking for last minute consultation’s, I’m available.

Bedard is deathly afraid of going to Ohio and I don't blame him.

[oceanshrugs]

As a Montreal fan, this was more fun than the TDL

[sojiroseta]

He absolutely looked terrified at the idea of going to CBJ 😅

[GxO]

They actually interviewed Bedard with him going to Blue Jackets in a fake draft? This is the dumbest thing I have ever seen 😂

[tannermurray]

squad was really bored on a friday afternoon and decided to do this lol

[stewartisan]

Absolutely enjoyable. this is how the draft should be done....

The NHL won’t let us ever have the #1 overall draft pick (Canucks)

[motorcitysmitty]

they are preparing us for when they rig the draft.

[baiqi]

I didn't want the Nucks to win Bedard in this mock draft lottery cause it usually means it won't happen when the real draft lottery takes place so I like this result. Winning Fantilli in the real draft lottery wouldn't be bad, but I don't think it's gonna happen after this now. lol

[iAMtheSushie]

You literally had to temp all of Vancouver tsn thanks alot

[nhlvan]

I'd totally take the 2nd overall pick lol

[uxhuijz]

Bedard looked like he DID NOT want to be there during that interview at all lmfaooo

[MrNeilgoetze]

Who are we kidding. Bettman scripts this perfectly so he goes to Chicago.

[kialbonetti]

As a Sharks fan I really hope they win the draft. Unlike Chicago, we didn’t full on intentionally tank this season. Not saying I wouldn’t tank to get a player like Bedard, cause I totally would if I were GM, but I regress. If we don’t win the lottery the only other player we should be Drafting for is Michkov. He’s the only player in this Draft on Bedard’s level. The fact that we might get him when is pick is a blessing the Sharks would be fools not to capitalize on. The fact that he will be in Russia for 3 years is also works in our favor cause we really need to stockpile high end talent and him playing for us right away would only lessen those odds of picking top 3. My dream scenario is winning the draft and somehow managing to trade for another high pick and taking both. My god that’s ugly.

[gamingwithmar]

I’m praying so hard he goes to Montreal

[greggschwartz]

Well done Duthie and Clan. I heard the song first on the Rubber Boots Pod but the video is way better than the audio. Video killed the podcast star!

[Mr.Bibleman]

It would be cool if he went to Montreal.

[flipperdoo]

Bedard wants to play in his home town of Vancouver. I hope Vancouver gets him. He looked frightened from the thought of going to Columbus
