Hosts Matthew Zator and Kyle Knopp get together with Chicago Blackhawks writers Gail Kauchak and Brooke LoFurno to preview the upcoming 2022-23 season. They dive into everything from the new additions of Andreas Athanasiou, Colin Blackwell, Max Domi and Dylan Sikura and the development of Lukas Reichel to whether Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews will be traded before the deadline and the new tandem of Petr Mrazek and Alex Stalock.
They also discuss some of the big storylines going into the season and identify some potential breakout stars, players that need to bounce back, X-factors, trade bait, and much more.
