Summary
Thursday's episode begins with thoughts on the horrendous news regarding star forward Connor Bedard's left shoulder injury, which he suffered ahead of the Fourth of July during an offseason training session. Host Jack Bushman breaks down Bedard's recovery timeline after surgery, what this means for his contract as a restricted free agent, and how the Chicago Blackhawks will be impacted at the start of the 2026-27 season. Then, Bushman dives into Drew Commesso being the first of four restricted free agents to sign a new contract with the Blackhawks this summer. The episode concludes with the new numbers for Jordan Greenway, Ian Cole, Cole Smith, Bowen Byram, Roman Kantserov, and Sacha Boisvert.
