Talk out loud about whether to continue another NHL hockey szn of the podcast and how it's a guys comparative; as in an unpaid media sports podcasting side gig like being an Instagram model is.

Trades and player moves are most interesting when you cover both teams for the full perspective and gives a unique take that only a division podcast such as this can. Ryan Johansson, Matt Duchene, and Matt Dumba discussed in multiple places in the podcast as examples.

Trade secrets on how reliable sources in the local markets and watching all the division teams play is key before anything gets published. It's a time consuming process.

Then an around the horn look at the Central Division teams off szn till the end of August in last szn's regular szn's standings order.

A team focused end of szn look at the Chicago Black Hawks.

A team designed to tank that did to win the draft lottery while missing the playoffs finishing last in the Central Division in the regular szn.

Jonathan Toews wasn’t able to be traded away like Patrick Kane and gets as good of a send off from the Chicago fans as one could have hoped for the captain.

Even with winning the Connor Bedard sweepstakes – why Chicago looks to be just as bad next year as they were this past szn.

A team focused end of szn look at the Arizona Coyotes.

A team designed to tank that was better than expected while missing the playoffs finishing seventh in the Central Division in the regular szn.

Getting the ownership to get a rink build as Arizona GM Bill Armstrong’s rebuild is giving the on-ice product for the Coyotes a real path for long term success.

The difference this off szn’s moves are from previous yrs of the current rebuild and why.

A team focused end of szn look at the St. Louis Blues.

A look at the team missing the playoffs finishing sixth in the Central Division in the regular szn.

GM Doug Armstrong’s “bluesprint” is still words not in player personnel. The big deadline deals have St. Louis roster look less Stanley and we look at the off szn ahead for the team as they add Kevin Hayes.
