The DFO Rundown

Trade season has come and gone with a handful of surprising moves coming down on deadline day. Jason and Frank recapped everything we saw over the last few weeks in a brand new edition of the podcast, with a bit of a twist.Tyler popped in early and today’s episode featured extended versions of both Fill in the Blank and Buy or Sell as Tyler ran the guys through the deadline gauntlet and got their thoughts on almost all the moves that went down and even a few that got close but ultimately didn’t come to fruition.They started with the big stunner: Tomas Hertl going to the Vegas Golden Knights. Did the Sharks get enough? How does this impact the long-term plans that the Golden Knights have? The guys have their thoughts.They also talked about which fan bases deserve to be the most disappointed with their teams moves, or lack of moves, over the last month.They also hit on the Hurricanes winning the Jake Guentzel sweepstakes, the Kuznetsov addition, and Linus Ullmark’s future with the Boston Bruins.To wrap up the show, they looked at the current Stanley Cup odds on Betano and each gave a team that they think is too high and a team that is too low.2:30 - Hertl to VGK10:00 - What’s next in San Jose?16:20 - Most surprising deadline move21:20 - The Predators deadline24:40 - The names that didn’t move28:30 - The most disappointed fan bases31:20 - Why didn’t the Rangers add more?33:10 - Guentzel goes to the Canes38:30 - Can Kuznetsov bounceback?44:35 - The Leafs’ lack of moves46:15 - Ullmark stays in Boston50:35 - Devils add goaltending53:25 - Which team improved their Stanley Cup odds?1:01:55 - Which division has the best shot at The Cup?1:10:00 - The Senators Head Coaching jobWant to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?

We are just over 24 hours away from the NHL Trade Deadline and to get you ready for the big day, Frank and Jason went through the entire NHL and updated you on what could go down between now and Friday at 3pm eastern.They started with the Atlantic Division where the Florida Panthers made a big move yesterday picking up Vlad Tarasenko from the Ottawa Senators. Frank says they aren’t done. The Ottawa Senators have a few other pieces to sell and could still be looking to move Jakob Chychrun. They wrapped up with some talk about the Toronto Maple Leafs, who have been quiet so far.Out in the Central Division, there are a handful of sellers. They talked about what the Wild, Coyotes, and Blackhawks could get up to before moving on to some of the more aggressive buyers. The Colorado Avalanche are hungry for a goalie and the Jets could still be looking to add some depth.Back to the Eastern Conference, they dug into the what could go down in the Metro Division. They started with the Rangers where Gregor thinks they could stand pat and just make small moves around the edges while Frank thinks they’re in the mix for a big-name forward. They also hit on all the pieces that the Washington Capitals will still be looking to move ahead of the deadline.Out in the Pacific Division, the Vegas Golden Knights and Edmonton Oilers both made big splashes on Wednesday, but are they done? Jason and Frank gave their thoughts. They also talked about the Flames sell-off and whether or not the Canucks could actually be looking to flip Elias Lindholm.Here are the timestamps for all 32 teams we discussed today so you can quickly find your favourite team.1:30 - Florida Panthers3:40 - Boston Bruins6:10 - Detroit Red Wings8:00 - Tampa Bay Lightning10:35 - Buffalo Sabres13:15 - Montreal Canadiens15:40 - Ottawa Senators18:00 - Toronto Maple Leafs21:00 - Dallas Stars22:40 - Winnipeg Jets26:05 - Nashville Predators27:40 - Minnesota Wild29:25 - Arizona Coyotes31:00 - Chicago Blackhawks34:55 - St. Louis Blues35:15 - Colorado Avalanche43:30 - New York Rangers45:50 - Carolina Hurricanes47:47 - New York Islanders49:15 - Philadelphia Flyers50:00 - Columbus Blue Jackets51:35 - New Jersey Devils53:05 - Pittsburgh Penguins54:30 - Washington Capitals56:12 - Edmonton Oilers58:35 - Vancouver Canucks59:55 - Seattle Kraken1:01:20 - Los Angeles Kings1:02:30 - Calgary Flames1:03:50 - Anaheim Ducks1:05:00 - San Jose Sharks1:05:55 - Vegas Golden KnightsWant to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?

Frank and Jason are back with another fresh episode of The DFO Rundown as they sunk their teeth into the remarkably quiet trade market in the NHL.The buyers and sellers are beginning to become more clear, but yet there isn’t anything happening in terms of actual moves. Frank explained why there hasn’t been a lot of activity and Gregor talked about a few teams that he thinks are destined to be sellers.That eventually got them onto the topic of the Vegas Golden Knights and their run of injuries. Could Eichel or Stone actually be out for the year? Are the Golden Knights just playing salary cap games once again? The guys debated what could happen if the league thinks the Golden Knights are trying to manipulate the LTIR system once again.Frank has some new names coming to his Trade Targets board including a former Golden Knight who could be heading towards a reunion with the club.Tyler also swung by for a new edition of Buy or Sell where he asked the guys about Quinton Byfield, who would go first in a 2020 re-draft, how many players the Penguins could trade, and the goalie market.2:12 - Matthews hits 504:10 - No trades in 3 weeks10:30 - Golden Knight’s injuries17:40 - New additions to the trade targets board24:10 - Buy or SellWant to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?

Today’s podcast started off as normal as any other. Jason and Frank talked about Jake Guentzal leaving last nights loss with an upper-body injury. The Penguins still haven’t gained any sort of momentum this season and the questions about them selling at the deadline remain.The other Pennsylvania team just keeps on humming. Everyone is waiting for the the Flyers to fall off and instead, they’re staying in the race. Will it get to a point where the Flyers won’t want to sell? The guys debated that.Right around the 15 minute mark we got breaking news live on the podcast as the Columbus Blue Jackets fired long-time General Manager Jarmo Kekalainen. The guys reacted to that news live on the podcast. Frank summed it up as “one bad decision after another” adding that it’s “mind-blowing” that he kept his job for eleven years.From there, they talked about Phil Kessel’s chances of cracking the Vancouver Canucks. The veteran forward is skating at the clubs AHL facilities in hopes of earning a spot with the big club. Could he actually make an impact? Jason and Frank debated that.Tyler once again popped in with Buy or Sell, where he asked the guys about a pair of players who hit the 1000 game mark and the scoring race.1:30 - Guentzal injury7:00 - Flyers keep winning11:40 - Blue Jackets fire Kekalainen23:00 - Kessel to the Canucks?27:40 - Buy or SellWant to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?
