Kekäläinen Out and Jack Hughes' Heel Turn

On this episode of 32 Thoughts, Jeff and Elliotte delve into the Columbus Blue Jackets relieving Jarmo Kekäläinen of his duties as General Manager. Elliotte expands on some of the names that are in contention to be considered by John Davidson as the new GM (8:01). Jeff also asks Elliotte about Elvis Merzļikins, who publicly expressed an interest to leave Columbus (11:29). The fellas then turn their attention to Jack Hughes, his "people pay to see me" comments, and the ensuing aftermath versus the LA Kings (14:59). Elliotte and Jeff ponder whether the Kings will make a move in between the pipes... Juuse Saros maybe (20:40) ? Jeff and Elliotte then discuss whether suspension appeals are the new normal across the NHL, à la Morgan Rielly (29:10) and does Rasmus Ristolainen's injury prevent the Flyers from making any moves at all (33:23)? To wrap the segment, Jeff and Elliotte speculate on which Western Conference teams will buy in the coming weeks (39:00).  The guys answer your questions in the Montana’s Thought Line (43:58) and finish the podcast by sitting down with Canadian Folk Rock musician Alan Doyle, who is embarking on a brand new tour with a brand new album (54:03). Find Alan Doyle's tour dates & tickets here: https://alandoyle.ca/tour/Find Alan Doyle's music here: https://alandoyle.ca/music/Email the podcast at [email protected] or call the Montana's Thought Line at 1-833-311-3232 and leave us a voicemail.This podcast was produced and mixed by Dominic Sramaty and hosted by Jeff Marek and Elliotte Friedman.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
