Those two players are Toronto's William Nylander and Vancouver's Elias Pettersson. On the latest Edition of Spittin Chiclets' "Game Notes" it was said that Pettersson wants to play with Bedard.

"Do not be surprised if you see Elias Pettersson try to make his way to the Chicago Blackhawks to be with Bedard next year.

It also mentioned the Swedish superstar being interested in joining the Blackhawks as well.

"Nylander, too. There's been a lot of talk of Nylander going to Chicago as well. That's part of it, too."
