The next era of the Windy City Benders Podcast is here! We’re excited to announce that we’ve officially joined the Inside The Rink Podcast Network to help take the show to the next level. As one of the top sources for hockey news, it only makes sense to call Inside The Rink home. Be sure to check out insidetherink.com for all your hockey coverage.

In this episode, the guys break down the Frank Seravalli bombshell from last Friday regarding the conditions tied to the first-round pick the Blackhawks received from the Florida Panthers in the Seth Jones trade. Tanner offers a glass-half-full perspective, explaining how, with a little luck, that pick could still end up as high as 10th overall for Chicago.

The conversation then shifts to a preview of the upcoming Men’s Olympic Hockey Tournament. The crew discusses pool winners, medal predictions, and potential individual award winners. They wrap things up by taking a closer look at Team USA — evaluating the roster, expectations, and who could emerge as the hero for the Stars and Stripes.

On this week’s episode, the guys kick things off by breaking down the Quinn Hughes trade to Minnesota and what it could mean over the next year and a half for the Wild, Devils, and the rest of the league. From there, they shift gears into a recap of the past week’s games, including the tough loss of Connor Bedard to a shoulder injury. They discuss how big of an impact that injury could have on the team moving forward and what it might mean for Bedard’s Olympic aspirations. Jarom then puts Tanner on the spot, asking whether there should be any concern about this young roster and its lack of leadership experience. The episode wraps up with a mini Farm Report from Tanner.
