Talking to Ownership in Their Language
4/3/20261 hr 40 min
In this episode of 32 Thoughts, Kyle Bukauskas and Elliotte Friedman break down what was said by MLSE leadership in the days following Brad Treliving’s departure and why this shift is about more than just the GM (25:01). They discuss early candidates for the GM role and Elliotte’s theory on how the Quinn Hughes situation could influence how players like Auston Matthews approach their futures (30:50). Elliotte also shares a story about how he heard the news of Treliving’s firing (35:30), while the guys touch on Nashville’s ongoing GM search, including upcoming in-person interviews (40:00). Elliotte unpacks the playoff races after a busy night of key-NHL action (43:45). They also get into tension in Ottawa following comments on the Tkachuk brothers’ podcast (50:31), Kyle Connor’s KFC commercial (1:05:49), and the Final Thought on Owen Michaels signing with the Oilers out of Western Michigan (1:07:14).
Kyle and Elliotte answer listener questions in the Thoughtline (1:14:04).
Today we highlight indie artists from Victoria BC, Door d'Or and their track Fibre Optics. Check their music out here.
