Wednesday's episode begins with a discussion over whether the Chicago Blackhawks should target 2022 1st-round pick Isaac Howard, who could reportedly get traded by the Tampa Bay Lightning after announcing he'll return to Michigan State for his senior season. Host Jack Bushman dives into Howard's skill set and then breaks down Scott Wheeler's recent 2025 NHL Mock Draft. The episode concludes with thoughts on Joel Quenneville, Rick Tocchet, and Adam Foote being hired by the Anaheim Ducks, Philadelphia Flyers, and Vancouver Canucks as their new head coaches.
