The Chicago Blackhawks are still reeling from a sexual assault cover-up that forever tainted their Stanley Cup dynasty and cost the jobs of general manager Stan Bowman and head coach Joel Quenneville.
The Hawks spent all of last season openly tanking, trading away stars like Patrick Kane, Alex DeBrincat and pretty much every player any opposing team even looked at.
It was all rewarded on Monday night as Chicago won the NHL Draft lottery and the right to select generational talent Connor Bedard No. 1 overall.
It all felt gross.
For NHL fans, it was also infuriating. The Blackhawks were hockey’s golden child throughout the 2010s and have barely paid for the crimes committed while atop the league.
The internet did not take kindly to Monday’s development.
