Today's episode begins with an update on Chicago Blackhawks' star forward Connor Bedard being eligible for a contract extension this summer! Host Jack Bushman breaks down why it's unlikely that Bedard will sign before the end of the 2025-26 regular season, and whether he'll want to sign a long-term contract for his next deal. The episode concludes with a reaction to The Athletic's recent Blackhawks fans survey, where fans were asked about GM Kyle Davidson, new head coach Jeff Blashill, Connor Bedard, the Blackhawks' rebuild, and more. All that and more on Locked On Blackhawks. Part of the Locked On Podcast Network. Your Team. Every Day.
