Thursday's episode begins with thoughts on whether the Chicago Blackhawks will pursue pending unrestricted free-agent forward Alex Tuch this summer. Host Jack Bushman breaks down the pros & cons of signing Tuch to a long-term contract and weighs whether he'd be a better fit than Jason Robertson for the Blackhawks moving forward. Then, Bushman dives into defenseman Sam Rinzel's 2025-26 season recap and gives him a final grade for his performance as an NHL rookie. The episode concludes with forward Wyatt Cullen's 2026 NHL Draft Profile. All that and more on Locked On Blackhawks. Part of the Locked On Podcast Network. Your Team. Every Day.
