Today, Matt and Mike tackle a few different topics of who is going to be the next captain, and what direction is the Blackhawks heading in as a business.

For both of us, we don't think Connor Bedard is ready to be a captain. Nothing against this kid but we think it should be someone else.

Blackhawks Owner Danny Wirtz was ranked negatively in ownership ratings. We think its the people around him that are dragging this organization down and not him personally. Jaime Faulkner has done no favors for the business side of the game.

Mitch Marner rumors.

Big Rig retiring.
