The DFO Rundown

With today being the NHL Trade Deadline, we decided to wait until Monday night to drop episode 19 of the podcast! Even though today wasn't the craziest deadline in recent memory, there were still plenty of interesting stories for Frank and Gregor to get to. They started things off by going through some of the big moves we did see before digging into some trades that didn't happen, but were close. The big stunner today came after the deadline when the Capitals and Red Wings made a big swap while some of the more significant moves were made over the weekend or late last night. In terms of some moves that didn't happen, there's reason to believe that this summer will be a crazy one around the NHL. Today's episode of the pod also features another edition of 'Buy/Sell' brought to you by Jock MKT! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We are now just days away from the NHL Trade Deadline which means Frank Seravalli and Jason Gregor had no shortage of things to talk about today on The DFO Rundown! The guys kicked things off by talking about the Florida Panthers, who could be in on two of the biggest names on the trade market, before going around the league and touching on almost every team that could be active ahead of the trade deadline. Of course, today's episode also features a fresh edition of 'Buy/Sell'! There is a three-horse race at the top of the Central Division and all three of the Hurricanes, Panthers, and Lightning could make moves before Monday's deadline. The Avalanche have a couple of areas that they will be looking to upgrade. Mike Hoffman could be on the move. The Blackhawks could be a fascinating team to watch according to Frank, who also thinks that the Jets are in a must-buy situation. There is a lot going on around the NHL and in today's 45-minute episode, Frank and Jason tell you everything you need to know! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We are just over one week away from the NHL Trade Deadline so we figured why not load up for episode 17 of the podcast and bring in both Pierre LeBrun and Darren Dreger to get us set for what could be a very busy week. Before getting into the trade talk, they went through the latest on the Vancouver Canucks and their scary COVID-19 outbreak. The situation in Vancouver isn't just affecting their schedule right now but it will affect the league's playoff schedule as well. From there, they headed west and talked about the Flames, Oilers and Jets before touching on the Leafs, Sens, and Habs. We ended today's podcast with a special Monday edition of Buy/Sell that touched on four American teams that could be very busy in the next eight days. Hosted on Acast.

It's the end of another week and that means a brand new episode of The DFO Rundown with Frank Seravalli and Jason Gregor! Like we've been doing every Friday on the pod, we spent the entire show going around the NHL and going in-depth on the trade market and the ever-changing playoff picture! To start things off, they talked about the lack of action on the trade market so far and which teams could be the first to make a big splash. From there, they dug into the Taylor Hall 'sweep stakes' and where the former Hart Trophy winner might end up. Could a pair of Canadian teams be a fit? Or will a contender in one of the other three divisions step up and pay the price? They also hit on the Washington Capitals, Nashville Predators, LA Kings, Florida Panthers, and Toronto Maple Leafs at different points in this week's episode. For now, there is a lot of talk but significant moves could be just around the corner. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today on the DFO Rundown Podcast we were joined by coaching legend Ken Hitchcock!

Before chatting with Hitch, they got into the Aaron Ekblad injury and also the intriguing playoff race in the Central Division! Also with Ken, they talked about his unique path to becoming an NHL Head Coach. He also reflected on his stint behind the bench with the Edmonton Oilers, how coaches have had to change their mindsets in recent years, and specifically, the Oiler's two superstar forwards. Of course, just because he's a future Hall of Famer doesn't mean he gets to skip out on our 'Rapid Fire' segment. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
