Another Deadline Won ~ Episode 357

About this episode

The episode discusses the recent NHL Trade Deadline moves by Kyle Davidson and their implications for the Chicago Blackhawks' future.

The 2026 NHL Trade Deadline has come and gone, and once again Kyle Davidson delivered a masterclass in roster management. The guys break down the moves he made and what clues they give us about how the team could be built heading into the summer. They also dive into Frank Nazar’s recent hot streak, take a closer look at Connor Bedard and how he stacks up against other former first-overall picks through their first 200 NHL games, and discuss whether Drew Commesso is making a strong case to be the team’s backup goaltender next season. To wrap things up, Tanner explains his new “ideal” draft lottery finish and why it might be the best possible outcome for the future of the franchise or at lease most entertaining for us Hawks Fans.
