In this special edition of 32 Thoughts live from Charlottetown, PEI, Kyle Bukauskas and Elliotte Friedman begin by focusing on Artemi Panarin and the New York Rangers as he enters the final year of his contract. They switch over to the Montreal Canadiens as expectations rise for them this season (13:23). That turns into a conversation about Auston Matthews and the challenge he faces to prove the doubters wrong (22:34). The Final Thought focuses on a few loose ends including McTavish, Luke Hughes, Evangelista, and Pietrangelo (26:27).

Kyle and Elliotte answer your emails and voicemails in the Thoughtline (31:37).

In the final segment we take questions from our live audience (43:47).
