This edition of 32 Thoughts with Kyle Bukauskas and Elliotte Friedman doesn't fall flat, despite Friedge's tire doing so... They open the pod discussing the Blue Jackets' acquisition of James van Riemsdyk and potentially Phil Kessel as well. That makes way for some of the hockey we saw over the weekend.

Afterwards, Elliotte provides an update on Flyers prospect Alexei Kolosov (12:00). Kyle and Elliotte talk about the latest in Detroit and their pending RFA's (14:00), and they give an update on Jeremy Swayman's future (17:14). The fellas also delve into the upcoming Amazon docu-series highlighting a number of NHL all-stars (21:36). In the Final Thought, Kyle and Elliotte talk about CHL players potentially being allowed to pursue NCAA aspirations (25:30).
