Bedard drives Chicago’s rebuild with Nazar alongside him; Nazar’s seven-year extension signals organizational commitment to a two-center future with Reichel in the mix. Knight could anchor the crease, Kaiser and Reichel push for top-six roles, and Kane/Toews frames an elite-through-generational lens. The episode folds in bevy of Chicago teams for flavor, with a fantasy-friendly read on upside, durability, and long-term contracts as the Hawks lay groundwork for 2030s contention.
