We Asked AI To Predict A Connor Bedard Trade From the Chicago Blackhawks

We asked an A.I. Program "ChatGPT" if the Chicago Blackhawks would ever trade Connor Bedard in the future.
While it's an interesting hypothesis, you can run ideas by ChatGPT and see them play out to their logical conclusion.
I'd advise against asking Google's AI for a recipe for pizza, but ChatGPT has a way of pulling from existing ideas, and literature to give us ideas, and thoughts.
One of those questions asked was if Blackhawks' superstar Connor Bedard could be traded in 2025.
With the deadline approaching teams everywhere are creating their shortlists of players, desired and lists of free-agents to move.
So, would GM Kyle Davidson and the Chicago Blackhawks move Bedard? The trade would be comparable to Wayne Gretzky's trade from the Edmonton Oilers, to the Los Angeles Kings.
A 2025 Bedard Trade?
While the circumstances would have to be pretty drastic for a trade to happen, ChatGPT mentioned that teams would load up a laundry list of draft picks and assets to make the move.
The only way Bedard would leave Chicago is if he requested a trade. And let's be real-there's almost no chance he does that this early in his career.
The one thing Chat GPT did get right is that if Bedard were traded, teams would line up, offering top prospects, multiple first-round picks, and roster players. It would be a blockbuster, for sure.

Although it's an entertaining idea, Bedard seems to like the current status quo in Chicago.
He has a new Coach who has revitalized his game, in Anders Sorensen, and could end up sticking with Chicago his entire career. Like his idol Sidney Crosby with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Yet, the Blackhawks haven't finished the rebuild yet, and Bedard is still the premiere player for the team.
He has plenty to accomplish in the NHL, and the team Kyle Davidson drafted has yet to be pieced together in the Windy City.
There may be one day that Bedard's a pending UFA and may want to make a move home to Vancouver, but now he's still going through the growing pains with leaders like Nick Foligno.
ChatGPT was correct, that Bedard would have to ask for a trade and that teams would have to pull up a brinks truck for GM Kyle Davidson.
