The Columbus Blue Jackets and Zach Werenski put an end to trade speculation with a joint statement early in July. With Werenski recommitting to Columbus, attention is now turned to signing Adam Fantilli longterm and keeping star forward Kirill Marchenko happy, too. Aaron Portzline joins Sean McIndoe to discuss the perennially underachieving Blue Jackets and if Jet Greaves, along with new additions Valeri Nichushkin and Ryan Lomberg, can assist Werenski in leading the Jackets back to a playoff spot in 2026-27.

The Toronto Maple Leafs were the most active NHL team when July’s free agency period opened, signing seven players, including goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky, trading for Nick Paul and Darren Raddysh, and drafting Gavin McKenna first overall. But was it enough? Are the Leafs fixed or is there still more work to be done? Maple Leafs writer Jonas Siegel joins Sean McIndoe to answer those questions, as The Athletic Hockey Show’s annual summer series on how to turn non-playoff, underachieving clubs into playoff caliber teams returns.

As the summer rolls on and the NHL offseason continues, the Chicago Blackhawks are one of the few teams creating headlines. Today, Laz and Shayna discuss Connor Bedard’s shoulder surgery that’ll keep him out for four months and whether it’s fair to label him “injury prone” at this point in his career, as well as the possibility of Hawks legend Patrick Kane reuniting with the club to help buoy the offense while Bedard is out. Plus, thoughts on the Anaheim Ducks officially matching Leo Carlsson’s offer sheet and how high Shayna’s concern-o-meter is for the Dallas Stars and Jason Robertson and the Columbus Blue Jackets and Zach Werenski.

Leo Carlsson and Barret Hayton eagerly await decisions by the Anaheim Ducks and Utah Mammoth on their offer sheets from the Philadelphia Flyers and New Jersey Devils. Sean, Frank and Sean debate the pros and cons of the Ducks letting Carlsson walk. They discuss the shocking move by legendary Ottawa Senator Daniel Alfredsson to join the Maple Leafs as an associate head coach, and the guys learn that baseball players are far more passionate about playing in the all-star game, than hockey players ever will be.
