Chicago won the draft , they got the best overall player with the best shot, they got the best skater who is as fast as mcdavid and they got the best goalie with their first 3 picks
This is some of the best content the NHL has ever put out! please we need more of this!!
Is it just me or did anyone else get teary eyed when they called their names and their parents started crying as well?
36:13 wow what a prediction by Moore
Why does the bedard family look like the hughes family?
Why wasn't Reinbacher mentionned ?
Will Smiths sister got me barking at my screen
Columbus needs to fire and get rid of that entire front office. When will they realize that John Davidson will not get it done. Jarmo has messed this up big time as well. They stink
as a habs fan, i'm sold on Jacob Fowler. and he already wears the jersey proudly, couldn't asked for more.
the Fowler name will reign supreme in Montreal in a couple of years, mark my words !
Awesome, really exciting draft class
Like that they showed later round picks/prospects too. 👏
24:33 Better get used to that son.
Well done, NHL! Wonderful piece!

Connor bedard “I’m gonna give you my phone… if I.. if I get picked” LIKE BRO wdym🤣
Does anyone know the name of the song they used at the end???
Loved seeing how proud all of the older siblings were, especially that moment between Adam and Luca. That's a special bond.
I know a native when I see one. Congratulations Carey Terrance! Ill be rooting for you throughout your career
"What if we get one?" "well then we chug a beer" Bedard is him💀
