Last night the fate of young Connor Bedard was decided at the NHL Draft Lottery. Nashville Predators fans will have to deal with the generational talent often as he will be drafted by the Chicago Blackhawks in the Central Division. There were big reactions across the NHL after the lottery show, and today we talk about the story behind Bedard - why it isn't just "sour grapes" that has so many fans frustrated by the results of the lottery. Was the draft lottery rigged to favor a big American franchise? We debate this conspiracy theory. The Blackhawks winning the Bedard sweepstakes brings up big feelings about another Blackhawks storyline, and we discuss why Gary Bettman's handing of that situation still reverberates seasons later. What do the draft lottery results means for the Nashville Predators? We discuss what the Preds might do with their #15 pick and plenty of draft capital when the NHL draft happens in June at Bridgestone Arena.
