In this edition of 32 Thoughts, Kyle Bukauskas and Elliotte Friedman talk about the struggling Buffalo Sabres and their 10-game winless skid. Elliotte throws out a wild trade idea between the Buffalo Sabres and Vancouver Canucks (7:05). The fellas then shift focus to the Vancouver Canucks, their struggles on home ice, their lack of emotional investment, and what Jim Rutherford's plans are with the roster (12:11). They talk about the struggling New York Rangers who are "open for business" (26:00) and Elliotte highlights possible trade targets ahead of Friday's Christmas roster freeze (32:56). Kyle and Elliotte talk about Linus Ullmark who is thriving for Ottawa (38:00) and dive into the feisty Sharks-Utah HC tilt on Saturday (42:30). The Final Thought focuses on a crucial board meeting for the USHL as some of their member clubs look to leave (52:00).
