Happy Wednesday. Welcome in to the CHGO Blackhawks podcast. I'm Jay Zawoski with Greg Boyson.

Chloe Field is back. She is somewhat nearer the weather.

Not so much under it as she was yesterday. I'm not under it, but I'm not over it. She's rising to the

level of the weather. Yes, I am. Well, congratulations. We're glad you're back.

Thank you. She's kind of coughing on everything, though. I haven't coughed once. I haven't coughed once. If we're remote Friday, you know why. Don't say that. We're already planning on being remote Friday. Don't listen to Jay. For remote Friday, you guys can enjoy my giant head close up. Zoom in cam. Yeah. Your pores look very clean, though. Good job.

that big time a lot to get to today uh mentioned in the

cold open anders lee looks like he's heading towards free agency that's a guy who has been on the hawks

radar before like a long time ago maybe still we'll see roman cancerov did an interview uh in russia

and shared some of the details about him coming to Chicago and some interesting stuff there.

We're going to get to that, but we're going to start with something that, I don't know,

a little under the radar this morning.

Darren Dregor, a longtime hockey insider, tweeted out about 10 a.m. today, nothing official,

but at this point, it seems likely Jonathan Taves is retiring.

Now, I don't think that's a big surprise.

But doesn't it feel like for a guy who is done as much and won as much and meant as much to the game of hockey that Jonathan Taves has,

that this has kind of got not a lot of buzz on it?

Well, I think two years away from the sport

kind of made people forget about him a little bit.

Yeah, maybe.

And then he came back last year and was fine.
