«Fans have been trying to buy customized Blackhawks No. 98 Bedard jerseys since the lottery. Some have apparently succeeded, but most people are being turned away, especially at the physical Blackhawks stores and on Fanatics' website. If you try to make a Blackhawks Bedard No. 98 jersey on Fanatics, you receive this message: «We are unable to customize this item with the text you have entered. Please try a different entry.» The reason is the Blackhawks and the NHL can't technically sell Bedard jerseys now because there isn't a name, image and likeness contract in place. Unless you can prove your last name is Bedard and your favourite number is 98, you'll probably have to wait until the Blackhawks actually draft him.»
