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.

With the Trade Deadline here, the Chicago Blackhawks find themselves in unfamiliar territory. They’re not buyers — but they also don’t have much left to sell.

The guys break down the Connor Murphy trade and why it was a strong, forward-thinking move for this team. From asset management to long-term roster flexibility, they explain how this deal fits the bigger picture.

They also dive into who else could potentially be moved before the deadline and what that signals about the organization’s direction.

Then the focus shifts to the future. With confirmation that youth will be a priority next season, the rebuild is clearly still in motion. The guys discuss why the commitment to developing young talent matters, what it means for the roster construction ahead, and why fans need to take a breath, trust the process, and understand that sustainable success doesn’t happen overnight.

USA Hockey is back on top of the world.

Both the Men’s and Women’s teams take down Canada to capture Olympic gold, and the guys break down both championship performances. They dive into what it means for the Men’s team to win their first gold medal in 46 years, and why—regardless of the political climate—they’re proud of what this group accomplished on the ice.

Then it’s back to Chicago as the Hawks return to action. The crew previews the upcoming four-game road trip, discusses Gavin McKenna landing on draft boards, and highlights what to watch for over the final 25 games of the season.
