In this edition of The Stick Blade Podcast we talk about Zadina continuing to impress for the Detroit Red Wings as well as Albert Johansson, looking at Dylan Larkin's captaincy situation in Detroit and how it contrasts other young captains around the league, and then for the Chicago Blackhawks we talk about Brent Seabrook's retirement, acquiring the Rockford Ice Hogs, Connor Murphy's disciplinary hearing, Patrick Kane's 1000th game upcoming, as well as fans possibly coming back to the United Center in April.

Then around the rest of the league we talk about the passing of Walter Gretzky, the league's punishment of dirty plays, and a possible rework of the NHL Draft Lottery process.

We hope you enjoy!
