Sharks win!
I have no clue if this is a hot take or not, but the Hawks won't win a cup with Bedard. For the same reasons the Oilers won't with McDavid and the Leafs won't with Matthews. Assuming he develops as everyone expects, by the time they're competitive, Bedard's AAV is gonna be 12-15M (or whatever the equivalent cap % is when he signs his contract). You just can't have a full, well rounded team when paying a single player that much. The closest we've had to a generational talent winning the cup in the last 14 years was MacKinnon with the Avs, but he was making a solid 8M less than hhe was worth.
