This departure is the latest
high-profile exit for Sportsnet, after the removal of Jeff Marek earlier this summer. That had been linked to a report that he leaked information about players from the 2024 NHL Entry Draft. Since then, Marek hasn't popped up elsewhere in the hockey media, but he did indicate he's looking for a new opportunity. In the meantime, Kyle Bukauskas has been announced to fill in for Marek on the 32 Thoughts podcast with Elliotte Friedman.
