The Mid Summer Check In

In this edition of 32 Thoughts, Kyle Bukauskas and Elliotte Friedman offer a surprise mid-summer check-in across the NHL. They begin with big-name 2026 UFAs, including McDavid and Kaprizov, and discuss how these players could influence the rest of the UFA/RFA class. Elliotte shares notes on the Winnipeg Jets (15:00).

The duo dives into the NHL's decision to retain the decentralized draft format (20:57), followed by a discussion of Roger McQueen’s commitment to Providence in the NCAA (24:27).

Kyle and Elliotte explore Matthew Tkachuk’s path to returning next season (34:12) and discuss Team Canada’s orientation camp ahead of Milan 2026 (38:07).

The Final Thought revolves around a long-standing listener question that finally has an answer (41:48).

In the final segment, Kyle and Elliotte are joined by Nashville Predator Spencer Stastney, who opens up about a challenging period in his life and the importance of seeking help (45:46).
