Locked On Sharks - Daily Podcast On The San Jose Sharks - A podcast by JD Young, Locked On Podcast Network

The San Jose Sharks and Chicago Blackhawks are on similar paths in their rebuilds. They both recently won the first NHL Draft lottery and now look to start competing for the playoffs in the upcoming years. Who makes it first? Jack Bushman of Locked on Blackhawks joins to compare notes on the rebuilds. We start with the Sharks' offseason, which saw them draft Macklin Celebrini and Sam Dickinson and trade for Yaroslav Askarov. Then, look at how the Blackhawks tried to add support for Connor Bedard and the state of their young defenseman Alex Vlasic and Kevin Korchinski. Finally, when should each team start pushing for a playoff spot, and why could this be the NHL's next great rivalry?
