In this edition of 32 Thoughts, Jeff Marek and Elliotte Friedman delve into the Arizona Coyotes potential relocation to Salt Lake City. Why the players aren't speaking, the emotions in the aftermath, and the dealings behind the scenes. That bleeds into a conversation about how people around the league felt snookered and played by Coyotes ownership and how NHL hockey will potentially return to Arizona down the line (17:00). Jeff and Elliotte also discuss the league's interest in having Ryan Smith as an owner in the league (21:30) and banter about how they expect the Utah franchise to be aggressive in adding players (25:45). The fellas then delve into an exciting night of hockey in the Eastern Conference playoff race (29:48). They talk about the tight Hart Trophy race (32:35) and dive into the Noah Hanifin extension in Vegas (39:25). Jeff and Elliotte talk about Jakob Silfverberg announcing his retirement from the NHL, and Elliotte has a note on the Ducks who got into some hot water (46:14).
The guys answer your questions in the Montana’s Thought Line (52:52). Jeff wraps the podcast with an anecdote on Anaheim Ducks prospect Sam Colangelo (1:08:31).
