Wheels Falling Off ~ Episode 362

Windy City Benders Podcast — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 08:32:14 -0500

The end of the line is near for the Chicago Blackhawks, and this season can’t come to a close fast enough. The guys break down what’s gone wrong in this final stretch, including a firsthand account from Tanner, who was in the building for the 5–3 loss to the St. Louis Blues.

Trying to come to terms with what this season became, the conversation shifts to the big question: how do you fix this team over the summer? While many Blackhawks fans are hoping for a splashy move, the reality might not be so simple. The guys dig into the idea of adding players like Matthew Knies and Jason Robertson, weighing the pros and cons of each potential move. Ultimately, they land on a conclusion that the realistic outlook for this offseason—and even next season—might not match what most of the fanbase wants to hear.

From there, they dive into the NHL Draft Lottery odds, discussing where they hope the Hawks land, and each rank their top four prospects for the team to target.

To wrap things up, Jarom revisits the preseason preview episodes to see which teams the guys picked to make the playoffs, comparing those predictions to how things actually played out.

Let The Kids Play ~ Episode 361

Windy City Benders Podcast — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 06:00:00 -0500

The Chicago Blackhawks wrapped up the road portion of their season on a much more encouraging note compared to last year, and the improvement is starting to feel real. The guys dive into why this season should be viewed as a success when it comes to growth—whether it’s the structure, the competitiveness, or the way younger players are handling bigger roles. It’s not about the standings right now, it’s about building something sustainable, and you can see that foundation starting to take shape heading into next season.

A big part of the conversation centers around Kevin Korchinski and the noticeable shift in how fans are talking about him. Earlier in his development, the criticism was loud, but now that people are seeing the progression, the tone has changed. That leads into a broader discussion about patience—especially when it comes to a prospect like Artyom Levshunov. Development isn’t always linear, and the Korchinski experience should serve as a reminder that young defensemen, in particular, take time.

They also get into what the team should do with André Burakovsky and whether he fits into the long-term vision or if it makes more sense to move on. It’s one of those decisions that could signal how aggressive the front office plans to be this offseason.

To close things out, the guys zoom out and look ahead to the playoffs across the league. With the postseason around the corner, there’s plenty to be excited about—even outside of Chicago—as the next wave of contenders and storylines begins to take shape.

Frondell Time ~ Episode 359

Windy City Benders Podcast — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 06:00:00 -0500

The guys are back to break down another week of Chicago Blackhawks hockey, and it was almost like Groundhog Day as the team once again went 1-1-1. They dive into the good, the bad, and the ugly from last week’s games, but overall still come away with plenty of positives.

Switching gears, the big news out of Chicago was the arrival of third overall pick Anton Frondell. The conversation turns to what expectations should look like for the young forward over the final 12 games of the season, and what his addition means for the roster at this stage.

The future of this team continues to be the show’s favorite topic, as the guys check in on the rest of the prospect pool during Tanner’s Farm Report. They wrap things up by floating the idea of sending an offer sheet to a division rival RFA—and why now might be the perfect time to take that kind of swing.

All About The Kids ~ Episode 358

Windy City Benders Podcast — Thu, 19 Mar 2026 06:00:00 -0500

The guys are back to break down another week of Blackhawks hockey, and there’s finally a real sense of momentum building.

They dive into the strides the team is making and how it’s starting to turn heads around the league — including André Tourigny of the Utah Mammoth — as the Hawks continue to show growth in key areas.

Former captain Nick Foligno returns to the United Center, and the guys reflect on the lasting impact he had in a short time. From leadership to setting the tone for the younger core, his influence on the culture is still being felt.

Looking ahead, they break down what fans should expect next season and why there’s real reason for excitement. This rebuild isn’t just theoretical anymore — it’s starting to take shape in a way that should have Hawks fans on the edge of their seats.

To wrap things up, they talk about the newest name in the mix, Sacha Boisvert, and why the criticism surrounding him just doesn’t hold up — especially when there’s little evidence to support it.

Another Deadline Won ~ Episode 357

Windy City Benders Podcast — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 06:00:00 -0500

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.

Thanks Murph ~ Episode 356

Windy City Benders Podcast — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 06:00:00 -0600

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.

Tanner offers a glass-half-full perspective, explaining how, with a little luck, that pick could still end up as high as 10th overall for Chicago.

The conversation then shifts to a preview of the upcoming Men’s Olympic Hockey Tournament. The crew discusses pool winners, medal predictions, and potential individual award winners.

Just when it seemed like things couldn’t get any worse, the last two weeks of Blackhawks hockey happened. The guys are back from the Christmas break and dive into the Hawks’ current slide.

They also discuss what the Hawks should do if they land the first overall pick this summer, and Tanner wraps things up with an in-depth Farm Report, including a look at the World Junior Championships.

On this week’s episode, the guys kick things off by breaking down the Quinn Hughes trade to Minnesota and what it could mean over the next year and a half for the Wild, Devils, and the rest of the league. From there, they shift gears into a recap of the past week’s games, including the tough loss of Connor Bedard to a shoulder injury. They discuss how big of an impact that injury could have on the team moving forward and what it might mean for Bedard’s Olympic aspirations. Jarom then puts Tanner on the spot, asking whether there should be any concern about this young roster and its lack of leadership experience. The episode wraps up with a mini Farm Report from Tanner.

The guys are back with another episode — and they’re kicking things off a little differently this week by trying to build the perfect mock trade to bring Quinn Hughes to Chicago. Along the way, they veer into plenty of side discussions, including Blackhawks prospects, Kyle Davidson’s work as GM, and some early Team Canada World Junior talk.

They eventually circle back to recap the week’s games: the unlucky loss to the Golden Knights, a solid win over the Kings, and… whatever that was against the Kings and Ducks. They wrap things up with a debate about the Olympics and why it’s ridiculous there’s any question about Celebrini or Bedard heading to Italy.

The guys are back to break down a roller-coaster week of Blackhawks hockey. From hard-fought battles to shaky goaltending from Soderblom — plus another appearance from a feisty Connor Bedard — this week had a little bit of everything. They also dive into the Laurent Brossoit situation and debate whether there’s a realistic path to keeping him around longer than expected. To wrap things up, they revisit last week’s Quinn Hughes take, and Jarom puts Tanner on the spot: what would he do if the Hawks landed both the first and second overall picks in next summer’s draft?

Windy City Benders Podcast — Wed, 06 Aug 2025 05:00:00 -0500

After a week off the guys are back for a quick episode to catch up on some Hawks new and a huge swing and miss from ChatGPT for season predictions.

Arvid Soderblom gets his next contract and the guys wonder how this will effect the game plan with this goalie group and who could be on their way out.

Ben Pope gives his early roster projects and the guys breakdown where they agree and disagree and even discuss more names that could see time this season in Chicago.

Connor Bedard gets the invite to Team Canada evaluation camp, can Bedsy make his way to the Olympics this February?

The Blackhawks announce their promo schedule (we are grasping for any Hawks news at this point)

Finally, Jarom ask ChatGPT to make predictions for the upcoming season and a more detailed look at the Chicago Blackhawks and lets just say, AI doesn’t know puck.

Stepdad Foligno ~ Episode 328

Windy City Benders Podcast — Wed, 23 Jul 2025 05:00:00 -0500

In a time of summer when news is light the guys still manage to put together a decent episode were they discuss Soderbloms spot with the team, minor signings, Foligno our captain, Blackhawk game grades, and Mount Rushmore of Stanley Cup Era Role Players.

(0:00) Intro

(3:27) Arvid Soderblom gets his arbitration hearing scheduled and the guys discuss what the ruling could be and if there is a chance they get a deal done before hand and avoid that nastiness.

(5:06) The guys discuss Louis Crevier and goaltender Stanislav Berezhnoy to two year deals. The latter leads to a discussion of the Hawks goaltending depth and that there could be some hard calls to be made down the line which is always a good thing.

(12:12) Nick Foligno played host to some of the younger Hawks in Sudbury and while the photos make him seem like a proud father, the guys talk about how important Foligno is to this team and developing the new culture in the Blackhawks locker room.

(18:07) Connor Bedard and Spencer Knight get named pretty high on a few NHL list. Tanner and Jarom argue if Spencer Knight was ripped off or if he was placed exactly where he belongs among goalies under 25 years old.

(23:22) The Hawks released the latest episode of Every Shift and because it revolved around the draft and development camp it only makes sense the guys take the time to complain about the draft process.

(27:21) The NHL Schedule is here so Jarom picked out a few Hawks games that seemed important and then the guys graded them on how must watch TV those games are. Tanner reads the list of NHL.com must see games and lets say there was a lot of disagreements from the guys on those.

(46:55) The guys wrap up the show picking their Mount Rushmore for Stanley Cup Era Role players

Windy City Benders Podcast — Wed, 16 Jul 2025 05:00:00 -0500

The guys are back after a week off and we are officially in the dog days of summer with very little news going on in the world of hockey.

(0:00) Intro

(1:12) Anton Frondell is officially a Chicago Blackhawk as he has signed his entry level deal. The guys discuss why going back to Sweden and playing in the SHL is the better move for him. They also get very excited at some of the praise he has gotten from former Blackhawks Johnny Oduya and Marcus Kruger who make a big time player comparison.

(15:00) People continue to take shots at the Hawks and their rebuild plan and praise the Sharks who seem to be following the same plan as the Hawks. Tanner and Jarom take a deep dive look comparing the two organization and then go even deeper looking at Hawks prospects and compare them to other players and their development.

(44:15) The Hawks are on the big stage again as they will play the defending defending Stanley Cup Champion Florida Panthers.

(45:45) The guys discuss the new CBA and some of the changes that will go into effect starting the 2026/2027 NHL Season.

Frenzyless Free Agency ~ Episode 326

Windy City Benders Podcast — Wed, 02 Jul 2025 05:00:00 -0500

What should be silly season hasn’t been off to a silly start as the draft went as expected and free agency was a dud for everyone but three teams.

(0:00) Intro

(4:39) The guys recap last weekends draft and how the new crop of Blackhawks prospects have a great balance of skill and size. Frondell was the man at number three and has already said and done the right things in his short time with the organization. Plus Tanner loves the Mason West pick and the high potential he has.

(37:02) July 1st should be an exciting and silly time but this free agent class was an absolute dud, from the cap going up and teams re-signing their players there was no fire works for majority of the league.

(48:37) The guys wrap up the show discussing the Hawks off season and why the fan base needs to manage their expectations and trust the process with the teams rebuild.

With The 3rd Overall Pick ~ Episode 325

Windy City Benders Podcast — Wed, 25 Jun 2025 05:00:00 -0500

Happy NHL Draft Week to all that celebrate it, the guys are back with their final draft preview before the picks are made this Friday.

(0:00) Before they get into draft talk they open up discussing how great it is to see Jonathan Toews back in the NHL as it was announced that he will be signing with the Winnipeg Jets. Keeping up with Cup Era heroes, the guys congratulate Duncan Keith on being named to the 2025 Hockey Hall of Fame Class.

(13:13) Draft Talk kicks off with a refresher of where the Hawks 10 picks will be made and what are some of the key needs that Kyle Davidson and company need to address with these picks.

(21:30) Jarom then ask if after pick 3 does Tanner want to see the the Hawks go best player available or should it all be about what the team needs?

(24:45) Tanner Brings up the idea that it is very likely they will start to package some of these picks to move up in the first round. With that idea the guys look at who could the Hawks possibly work with to move up and what else they would need to include with draft picks to make this happen. Could a deal with the Islanders to help them get Schaefer and Hagens be a possibility?

(36:24) Jarom wants to know if there is any players on Tanners do not draft list or if he feels like with this draft class it is open season and anyone is worth picking. Jarom plays devils advocate that the Hawks need to look at this years picks as the last top five pick they will have because god willing they take major steps forward next year. Tanner strikes that thinking down quick.

(41:20) If the move for third overall is to trade it, what would make it worth it for the guys, Peterka? Knies? Rossi? Robertson?

(45:50) Bold Takes from the guys for the upcoming draft and not necessarily involving the Hawks.

(46:58) The guys recap their second draft ranking and then give their final draft rankings for the 2025 NHL Draft for players who could go at number 3 overall.

(55:05) To wrap the show up the guys talk about their expectations for the upcoming off season and how those expectations have already been set by the Hawks extending Ryan Donato and trading for Burakovsky. The big names might be off the board for the Hawks but there are a few more spots that need to be addressed so the guys give their summer wish list.

What Are They On? ~ Episode 324

Windy City Benders Podcast — Wed, 18 Jun 2025 05:00:00 -0500

The guys are back talking more draft rumors including Frondell being the pick at three but now the rumors are turning to the team trading the pick for an impact player, what ever that might mean. (1:23)

Tanner brings up an interesting point on verbiage when it comes to offer sheet compensation and could this make it easier for the Hawks to take a shot at an RFA? (13:26)

Other Hawks News including Reichel to the Olympics and Soderstrom traded to Boston. (21:46)

What are they on? The guys take a look at a cool feature of PuckPedia, PuckGM and just look at ridiculous mock trades that were submitted there including one from Tanner. (27:54)

J-Rob The Blackhawk ~ Episode 323

Windy City Benders Podcast — Wed, 11 Jun 2025 05:00:00 -0500

This week on the Windy City Benders Podcast, the guys dive into a busy week of Hawks headlines starting with all the noise coming out of the NHL Combine. Cam Robinson suggests the Blackhawks are eyeing Michael Misa and could look to move up in the draft, while Ben Pope reports Kyle Davidson says the team’s internal draft board is still unfinished. With uncertainty around how teams like the Islanders and Sharks will draft, the top of the board remains wide open — and the Hawks are keeping options flexible.

We also talk about the Hawks reportedly skipping combine dinners, their possible shift away from prioritizing elite skating, and the strong internal stance on keeping Bedard and Nazar at center. Expect wingers to be the focus — and don’t rule out an aggressive trade up if the right name is there.

Then we touch on the CHSN Xfinity update as the highest-tier service becomes the go-to for Hawks games, sunsetting over-the-air options in the Chicagoland area. What does this mean for fans?

Plus: could Nikolaj Ehlers be a real fit in Chicago? Chris Johnston thinks so.

In our NHL roundup, we hit on Gary Bettman’s State of the Union, award chatter, Pete DeBoer’s firing, and give our latest thoughts on the Stanley Cup Final.

To wrap up Hawks Talk, they cover Jonathan Toews’ potential comeback, new coaching hires in both Chicago and Rockford, and the continued expansion of Fifth Third Arena.

Then it’s time for NHL Talk: what’s going on with the Dallas Stars behind the scenes, and who do the guys have winning it all in their Stanley Cup Final preview and predictions?

The guys discuss what this means going forward with this team and how some people feel this was a steal of a deal while they argue that it will be Nyladers last chance in Chicago. Tanner talks about the growing frustration that he wants Nylander to work but isn’t sure he is capable of being the guy. Jarom talks about how he sees a lot of similarities between Nylander and Strome and how it might be best to just move on from both. The shift to the other semi-hawks news, former Stanley Cup Champion Viktor Stalberg announces his retirement from hockey and to tie all of Hawks Talk together the guys touch on how Nylander needs to adapt his game to the style of Stalberg. NHL Talk, the guys address the major news that dropped earlier in the day.. Jersey ads are coming and no one is happy about it. From worrying where the ads will go to which sponsor will be on each jersey to just the fear of Euro Style jerseys coming to the NHL. Tanner takes a look at some of the remaining RFAs and ask why are they not being signed and even makes a pitch for the New Jersey Devils to toss a few offer sheets out there. They wrap up NHL Talk with the latest in the Jack Eichel Saga in Buffalo and one New York Rangers Podcast making a pitch for the team to #FreeEichel. The Boys wrap the show up with the latest round of Starting Line Ups. This week they are selecting the Top Hawks Drafted Outside of the First Round (since 200) Follow us on Instagram and Twitter @WCBPodcast.
