The Blackhawks and Bears should have exciting seasons in the next few years. The Bears are expected to have a much better season in 2023 after they used their number one pick and cap space this offseason to build a strong foundation for the future. The Blackhawks have their foundation with Bedard.
Bedard and Justin Fields should keep Chicago on the map in their respective sports for the foreseeable future.
