Podcast:CHGO Chicago Blackhawks Podcast Published On: Wed Sep 02 2026 Description: The Chicago Blackhawks open training camp in just over two weeks and will do so without Connor Bedard to begin the year. Centermen Frank Nazar and Anton Frondell have been the assumed top two options to replace Bedard while he is recovering from shoulder surgery, but could rookie Roman Kantserov actually begin the year in Bedard’s place at the top of the lineup? Mario Tirabassi and Greg Boysen discuss that plus, how many Blackhawks land on The Athletic’s Top 150 list and what’s new in the news cycle in the Central Division.
