Summary

Jeff and Producer Matt look at the Blackhawks winning the draft lottery, the Connor Bedard effect on ticket sales and how the Hawks may approach free agency. Shayna Goldman reacts to the Gabriel Landeskog injury news, the up-and-down nature of the Edmonton-Vegas series and how Seattle is challenging what most think makes teams successful (12:05). Mark Lazerus looks at what the addition of Bedard means to Chicago, what Kyle Davidson’s off-season might look like and if Patrick Kane could end up back in the organization (33:23). Jason Bukala discusses how quickly the Blackhawks may turn things around with Connor Bedard in the fold, why Adam Fantilli might be the first pick in other years and how high Leo Carlsson can go in the draft (50:30). The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
