On the latest Blackhawks Live, WGN Radio’s Charlie Roumeliotis and Jack Heinrich discuss the biggest storylines around the NHL, including the shocking blockbuster trade that sent Brady Tkachuk to the Florida Panthers. They break down what the deal could mean for the rest of the offseason and whether it signals more blockbuster moves leading up to the draft and free agency.

They also debate when the Blackhawks will once again become a destination franchise, not just from the organization’s perspective, but from a player’s. When will Chicago be a place elite talent wants to come to again?

Charlie and Jack also preview the 2026 NHL Draft, sharing how they expect the board to unfold before the Blackhawks make the No. 4 overall pick. Could Ivar Stenberg still be available? What about defenseman Chase Reid? They weigh in on those possibilities, discuss what it would take for Chicago to trade the pick, and much more.

Finally, Charlie and Jack reflect on the career and legacy of former Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews following his official retirement from the NHL.
