In this episode of 32 Thoughts, Kyle and Elliotte kick off by discussing Jake Oettinger’s 8-year x $8.25M extension with the Dallas Stars, followed by a look at the Lightning and Panthers’ starts. They debate if the Sabres, Sens, and Red Wings should worry about their slow starts and share their thoughts on the Predators’ early performances. The hosts also tackle goalie interference issues and suggest a tweak to the awards voting process. They conclude with the Columbus Blue Jackets' tribute to the Gaudreau brothers and an interview with LA Kings forward Warren Foegele.
You know what?
I'm a player, but I'm also a fan too.
You know, you like seeing when, you know, offer sheets are happening, you know, and obviously trades are exciting too, when it's not you.
No, I think it's good for the game.
Do you have a burner?
Do you follow people with a burner?
No, not doing.
Not on that.
No, no, no.
KD here.
Okay.

Also, you're going to hear an interview we did a few weeks back when we were in Los Angeles with Warren Fogel, one of the newest members of the Los Angeles Kings.
All of that to come, but Elliot, we will begin this episode with the news out of Big D.
