Should Chicago Blackhawks Trade For Matvei Michkov? | Keaton Verhoeff's NHL Draft Profile

Friday's episode begins with the recent trade rumors surrounding Philadelphia Flyers' former first-round pick Matvei Michkov, who was healthy scratched multiple times during the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Host Jack Bushman dives into whether the Chicago Blackhawks should make a run at trading for Michkov and what it would possibly cost to do business with the Flyers. Then, Bushman gets into defenseman Keaton Verhoeff's 2026 NHL Draft Profile, going through his strengths, weaknesses, and NHL projection before debating if he's a better right-handed blue-liner than Chase Reid. The episode concludes with Corey Pronman & Scott Wheeler's latest NHL Mock Draft for The Athletic. All that and more on Locked On Blackhawks. Part of the Locked On Podcast Network. Your Team.
