Description
On the latest Blackhawks Live, WGN Radio’s Charlie Roumeliotis and Jack Heinrich return in podcast form to react to the 2026 NHL Draft lottery results, with the Blackhawks landing the No. 4 overall pick. They discuss who could be in play at No. 4 and whether trading the pick should be on the table.
Charlie and Jack also break down the Toronto Maple Leafs winning the No. 1 overall pick and why Auston Matthews’ future could become a major storyline this summer. They examine the San Jose Sharks’ pivotal decision at No. 2 overall — whether to take the best available forward or defenseman — and how that choice could impact Chicago’s options.
They also touch on early mock drafts from experts, the Blackhawks’ first-round pick from the Florida Panthers being deferred to 2027 after falling within the top-10 protection, and more.
