32 Thoughts: The Podcast19 Dec 2025

Roster Freeze and Boiling Tempers

In this episode of 32 Thoughts, Kyle Bukauskas and Elliotte Friedman dig into Craig Berube’s pointed postgame comments and the noticeable shift in tone around the Maple Leafs’ room. They examine Edmonton’s goaltending situation after Tristan Jarry exits with another injury (14:30), the Oilers’ background work on Alex Lyon (15:52), and Jarmo Kekäläinen stepping into a leadership role in Buffalo (18:44). Elliotte provides an update on the complicated Phillip Danault trade talks (30:16) and league-wide rumblings ahead of the roster freeze (34:55), while also breaking down Florida’s push back into the playoff race and the mentality forged by years of battles with Tampa Bay (40:00). The Final Thought focuses on the Seattle Kraken, who have hit a rough stretch with ten losses in their last eleven and growing concern around the direction of their season (01:14:14).

Kyle and Elliotte answer your emails and voicemails in the Thoughtline (54:13).
