The NHL offseason continues to deliver blockbuster moves.
Tyler Yaremchuk and Carter Hutton break down the stunning trade that sends Bowen Byram to the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for the 4th overall pick and additional assets. Why did Chicago make this move? Is adding an established young defenseman the right call, or should the Blackhawks have used those assets to find another weapon for Connor Bedard?
The guys also revisit Chicago’s decision to pass on Ivan Demidov last year and discuss what this latest move says about the organization’s long-term vision.
Then, attention shifts to Buffalo. With multiple premium assets now in hand, could the Sabres be positioning themselves for another major move? Could Connor Hellebuyck or another star become a target?
Later, the Washington Capitals make a splash of their own by acquiring Jordan Kyrou from the St. Louis Blues. Was the price worth paying? How valuable is Connor McMichael, and who comes out ahead in this blockbuster?
Steven Ellis joins for The Next Wave to update his latest NHL Mock Draft, discuss whether the San Jose Sharks are locked in on Anton Stenberg at second overall, and break down the ripple effects of Chicago’s surprising trade.

Hutts, do you still not like Brandon Bussi???
Sounds like Bedsy is thrilled to get a fellow BC guy. Wait Chi isn’t done yet.
This trade would have made sense for Chicago if they had taken Demidov over Arty
Love the casuals thinking there is performance certainty at 4OA…it’s a friggin lottery ticket and their prospect pool is so deep!
weird uninformed takes as per usual. if you're going to be an league wide analyst you should make more of an effort to understand context around players, specific team needs and considerations, imo
It's like watching a 1960's Dubbed in, Japanese movie with the lip sync being off
