Philly Bomb ~ Episode 373

Windy City Benders Podcast — Tue, 07 Jul 2026 11:38:46 GMT

Free agency is well underway, and as expected, things have been pretty quiet in the Windy City.

The guys are back to break down this week's biggest hockey headlines, starting with Connor Bedard's injury scare in Vancouver. Bedard, who has been training in Vancouver this offseason, left the ice in pain on Thursday after appearing to lose an edge. Is this something Blackhawks fans should be concerned about, or is it simply an offseason scare with nothing to worry about?

Next, Kyle Davidson locks up another important piece of the future, signing Drew Commesso to a two-year contract. What does the deal mean for Chicago's goaltending situation this season, and where does Commesso fit into the organization's long-term plans?

Finally, the Philadelphia Flyers may have changed the NHL landscape by sending a monster offer sheet to Leo Carlsson. The guys discuss what it could mean for the Blackhawks, Connor Bedard's current contract negotiations, future superstar extensions around the league, and whether offer sheets are about to become a much bigger part of doing business in the NHL.

Check out all of this and more in Episode 373!
