Lots of key injuries but will the return of Matthew Tkachuk be enough if they end up 10+ points out of a playoff spot come January. Sergei Bobrovsky has struggled for the Panthers this season and in a contract year, what's the future like for the Russian goaltender?Next, it's the Stanley Cup finalists in the West, Edmonton. A rough start to the year but a massive win over Seattle sees them pushing towards relevance in the Pacific Division race.

Welcome to the DFO Rundown with Jason Gregor and Jeff Marek!Marek opens the show by diving into the Vezina conversation, following up on the debate between Rupp and Gregor about which young goalie could win one first. Marek sides with Rupp, choosing Lukas Dostal — noting that Anaheim appears to be the closest to contention among the young-goalie teams.In Vegas, Carter Hart has been recalled by the Golden Knights. His numbers in Henderson weren't impressive, and the rust is still evident, but the guys debate what his impact could be — and how fans and players alike may react to the polarizing goaltender's return.The Flyers have been another surprise, backed by strong goaltending from Dan Vladar. Trevor Zegras, meanwhile, has shown real growth since arriving in Philadelphia, and the guys dive into his shootout wizardry and newfound maturity.St. Louis struggled early with defensive breakdowns and shaky goaltending, sinking them to the bottom of the Central Division. They appear to be stabilizing now — but can they realistically dig their way out of the early-season hole?The President's Trophy chase between the Dallas Stars and Colorado Avalanche sparks a debate about who has the better shot at the Stanley Cup. Gregor leans Stars — and wonders whether Dallas could look at Mason Marchment if Seattle becomes a deadline seller.The Jets, meanwhile, are 1-4-0 without Connor Hellebuyck, and the Central's top three are pulling away. Marek stresses Winnipeg's need for a true second-line center. Can the Jets tread water long enough to stay in the Wild Card race?With the Leafs' playoff odds sitting at just 11%, the guys debate whether Toronto can climb back into the race — or if the season is already slipping away.In Tampa Bay, John Cooper has turned the ship around. The Lightning are back atop the Atlantic Division, with Vasilevskiy, Point, and Kucherov heating up. Gregor and Marek both see Vasy as a major Vezina contender at this point in the season.Lastly, the Predators could become one of the league's most intriguing sellers. Which player is their most valuable trade asset? Filip Forsberg, Ryan O'Reilly, Juuse Saros, and Steven Stamkos headline the list of potential deadline chips, and the guys lay out ideal landing spots for a few of them.Want to hear more from Jason and the entire DFO team?

Is one game too few for the Stars forward?Patrick Roy was livid after the Rantanen hit on Alexander Romanov. Should a coach be yelling at an opposing player after a controversial play?Winnipeg is without their Vezina goaltender, Connor Hellebuyck, and the teams behind them in the Central are pouncing on the opportunity to take advantage of a wounded Jets team. How high is the concern level in Winnipeg?Talking about the Central, the Minnesota Wild are getting sensational goaltending from Jesper Wallstedt and Filip Gustavsson, with back-to-back shutouts, and an 8-1-1 record in their last ten, which has shot them up to third in the division. The line of Matt Boldy, Joel Eriksson Ek, and Marcus Johansson has been stellar on both ends of the ice, prompting Gregor to say they might be the best line in hockey right now.The Colorado Avalanche are off to an incredible start, with only one regulation loss over their first 22 games. Mackenzie Blackwood is back from injury, and Scott Wedgewood has been exceptional in his absence. The goaltending tandem have back-to-back shutouts for the NHL's top team, but who is the MVP for the Avalanche this year? Marek gives an answer you might not expect.There have been plenty of surprises this season, and the Boston Bruins have the leading scorer in the NHL.

Geekie has found his footing in his role on the Bruins and is enjoying the best start to a season in his NHL career.The Buffalo Sabres looked destined for the bottom of the standings again but have won four of their last five and have crept out of the cellar of the Atlantic.

How many goals will the Great Eight finish with in his career?Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin both sit in the top ten in NHL points.

How concerned should the Jets and Team USA be?Next, Rupp gives his projected Team USA roster. Alex DeBrincat and Jason Robertson join the roster, while Brock Nelson and Clayton Keller drop out from his last projection. Do young players like Spencer Knight and Cutter Gauthier deserve spots on the American roster? Is Kiefer Sherwood a wildcard to make Team USA given his skill set?Gregor gives his Team Canada roster projections. Young guns Connor Bedard and Macklin Celebrini join his projected squad as Mark Stone and Seth Jarvis drop out.

Gregor and Rupp start off the show with a look ahead to a weekend packed with sports. The Colorado Avalanche may not be running away with the Central quite so easily.

The guys talk about Jason Robertson heating up, Wyatt Johnston's power-play prowess, and the anticipation surrounding a Jamie Benn return.Next, we head to the West Coast to discuss the resurgence of the LA Kings. A team many predicted to contend atop the Pacific struggled out of the gates but has now found its footing, surging up the standings to sit second in the division. The guys dive into their defensive acumen and a promising offensive spark.Later, we look at the struggling Maple Leafs, who dropped another game last night—this one in overtime to the Kings—dropping Toronto to a .500 points percentage. People can point to the injury bug, but this team has been extremely poor defensively this season, with a league-worst goals-against per game. Gregor and Rupp break down a quote from William Nylander about the Leafs' early-season struggles.After a torrid start to the season, it looks like the Montréal Canadiens are coming back down to earth. The goaltending tandem of Sam Montembeault and Jakob Dobês has faltered recently, with both goalies struggling to keep the puck out of the net.Nashville is the team everyone is watching when it comes to a potential big early-season move.

Marineland Beluga care has become an urgent issue as the park claims it cannot afford to maintain the whales, warning of potential euthanasia without government help. Andrew explores whether Marineland should be required to care for the animals it profited from, or whether public intervention is necessary to ensure the whales' welfare. This episode blends law, compassion, and marine science to uncover what ethical responsibility looks like when conservation meets crisis.

Jason Gregor is back with another offseason edition of The DFO Rundown and today, he was joined by Michael Russo of The Athletic. He's spent the last number of years covering the Minnesota Wild but has been working in hockey for a lot longer than that. The guys started the pod off by talking a little bit about Russo's career and how he ended up in ‘The State of Hockey'.From there, they got into the current situation with the Kirill Kaprizov and the Wild. He's eligible for an extension and there's no doubt that the Wild would love to lock him up, but is he open to a max-term contract? Russo gave some insight into that before getting to another contract situation that GM Bill Guerin is currently dealing with in Marco Rossi, who is an RFA.They then talked about how certain offseason moves could change the balance of power in the Central Division. There are some serious question marks around teams like the Jets and Avalanche meanwhile the Stars are going to get a full year out of Mikko Rantanen, which could change things.The Utah Mammoth are also quickly becoming everyones favourite underdog. GM Bill Armstrong had himself a very busy summer, but did he do enough to make them a playoff team? They also talked about Connor Bedard and the Chicago Blackhawks and the Nashville Predators chances of bouncing back after a miserable season.Tyler then popped in for Fill in the Blank, where he asked the guys about who will start Game 1 for the Edmonton Oilers, Mitch Marner's ceiling in Vegas, and if they think there could be any surprise teams who get to 100-points.3:50 - Kaprizov & a short-term deal9:50 - Will Marco Rossi in Minnesota?15:05 - The Central offseason20:25 - Everyone loves Utah24:05 - Can the Hawks take a step?28:40 - Can the Preds rebound?33:10 - Fill in the BlankWant to hear more from Jason and the entire DFO team?

Today on the DFO Rundown, Jason Gregor was joined by Jeff Marek from The Sheet to recap everything we've seen over the last 72 hours in the NHL.There were some big contracts handed out as the free agency window opened and usually, this is the time of the year where big mistakes are made. The guys started today's podcast by talking about one team that they think really improved themselves this summer: the Montreal Canadiens.Are they good enough to be a team that wins playoff rounds next year? They discussed it.From there, they talked about the moves that the Anaheim Ducks made so far this summer. They brought in some veterans in Chris Krieder and Mikael Granlund and while they moved on from Trevor Zegras, it's easy to see a path to the Ducks improving.They then talked about the Mitch Marner saga and him officially becoming a member of the Vegas Golden Knights. Should Vegas be considered the favourites in the West? They also touched on the way the Maple Leafs handled the situation and the Florida Panthers finding a way to keep all their free agents around.Tyler then popped in for Buy or Sell where he asked about the Ken Holland's moves with the Kings, the bottom-five teams in the league and the remaining free agents on the board.They wrapped up the show by talking about James Reimer and some of the names still out on the market, the impact some of the new Head Coaches around the league could have and the state of the Dallas Stars after the hiring of Glen Gulutzan.1:10 - How much better are the Habs?8:30 - Are the Ducks good enough?15:40 - Marner & the Golden Knights23:00 - The Leafs rebound27:30 - Bennett & the Panthers33:10 - Buy or Sell50:00 - The new coaches52:00 - Stars hire GulutzanWant to hear more from Jason and the entire DFO team?

The DFO Rundown is back and with draft weekend in the rear view mirror and free agency opening up tomorrow, there was no shortage of talking points for Jason Gregor. He began the show by going through a little bit of what we saw over the last 72 hours in the league from the Islanders picking first overall to some of the big extensions that were signed.Jason was then joined by guest co-host Chris Pronger. The Hall of Fame defenseman talked about the end of his career when he was trying to overcome an eye injury and life after hockey, including his stint with the Florida Panthers organization.The guys then got into free agency. Teams finally have some money to spend and that could result in some pretty shocking contracts. They talked about what smart teams will do with their money and they also talked about some of the big free agents on the board, like Mitch Marner, who is rumoured to be heading to the Vegas Golden Knights.Jason also got Chris' take on this years crop of free agent defensemen. Provorov, Ekblad, and Gavrikov are all coming from very different situations but teams are always hungry for defensemen this time of year. Could one of those three get a bigger contract than we think? Pronger also talked about how going to a different system could expose some flaws in their games.Tyler then popped in for a new edition of Fill in the Blank where he asked the guys about who could increase their Stanley Cup odds the most in the next week, the New York Islanders big weekend and they shared their favourite under the radar free agent options.1:00 - Draft weekend recap13:50 - Chris Pronger on life after hockey26:10 - Best on Best hockey22:50 - Mitch Marner's future39:55 - Free Agent Defensemen41:00 - Fill in the Blank50:00 - Under the radar optionsWant to hear more from Jason and the entire DFO team?

Frank and Jason are back with another offseason edition of The DFO Rundown, and today's was a busy one. Earlier this morning, Frank broke the story that a new CBA is coming and he outlined all of the changes that are coming with that. The guys dug into all of that and Gregor said what he liked and didn't like about some of the new elements of the CBA, which will kick in for the 2026-27 season.Before they talked about that, they did discuss the massive deal that went down on Thursday night as the Buffalo Sabres sent JJ Peterka to the Utah Mammoth in exchange for Josh Doan and Michael Kesselring. The deal seems a bit underwhelming on the surface and the guys talked about that. Frank also shared what some other options may have been for GM Kevyn Adams.They then really sunk their teeth into the new CBA and new massive changes that are coming, including new term limits, a closing of the LTIR loophole, and an 84-game regular season.Tyler then popped in for a new edition of Buy or Sell, where he asked the guys about the upcoming free agent class and the chances of a top ten pick getting moved in the 2025 NHL Draft.In the back half of the show, they did their offseason previews for the eight playoff teams in the Eastern Conference. The Canadiens are apparently itching to make some big moves, but they're not alone. The Devils and Hurricanes are likely in that boat as well. The Leafs could also be a team that looks very different next season.The challenge for some of the other competitors like the Panthers, will be trying to dance around some cap challenges.They wrapped up the show with an announcement about the future of the podcast as Frank officially moves on from Daily Faceoff after this week.0:45 - Utah lands Peterka6:00 - What else was on the table for Buffalo?9:55 - The new CBA22:54 - Buy or Sell (Top 10 Free Agents, Penguins, Moving a Top 10 Pick)32:40 - Montreal Canadiens38:00 - New Jersey Devils42:10 - Ottawa Senators46:35 - Tampa Bay Lightning51:50 - Washington Capitals53:40 - Carolina Hurricanes55:25 - Toronto Maple Leafs57:50 - Florida PanthersWant to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?

It's the week of the NHL Draft and we are just eight days away from the beginning of free agency. While there wasn't a lot of news this weekend around the league, there is a lot going on behind the scenes and Frank kicked off today's edition of The DFO Rundown by giving a quick update on the trade market. Are the Sabres getting closer to moving JJ Peterka? Will the Islanders move Noah Dobson by the draft?From there, they dug into their offseason previews for the eight teams in the Western Conference that made the playoffs. They started with the St. Louis Blues, who are facing some big questions this summer. The Minnesota Wild are in a position where they can be hyper-aggressive. The Colorado Avalanche are low on funds, but need to make some moves to fix a roster that was bounced in the first round. The Los Angeles Kings are in an interesting spot with a new GM and boatload of cap space.They kept rolling and hit on the Winnipeg Jets, who are bringing in 3x Stanley Cup Champion Jonathan Toews. What else will Kevin Cheveldayoff do? The guys gave their takes. Vegas never sits still in the offseason and the expectacion is that they will push hard for Mitch Marner. The Dallas Stars already made some spicy decisions after getting bounced by the Oilers in the Western Confernce Final. They still need a coach, but will that be the last big move they make?They wrapped by talking about the Oilers, the McDavid extension, and what they need to do in order to get back to the Stanley Cup Final.Tyler joined for Buy or Sell where he asked about Marner's contract, Jake Allen's place on the goalie market, and the Rasmus Andersson situation in Calgary.1:45 - Peterka, Dobson and more8:20 - St. Louis Blues15:00 - Minnesota Wild21:00 - Contract Extensions (Kaprizov and McDavid)25:45 - Colorado Avalanche32:45 - Los Angeles Kings40:20 - Fill in the Blank52:00 - Winnipeg Jets1:00:00 - Vegas Golden Knights1:05:25 - Dallas Stars1:07:55 - Edmonton OilersWant to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?

And with that, the 2024-25 NHL season has come to a close and for a second straight season, the Florida Panthers are Stanley Cup Champions. Jason and Frank kicked off today's episode of The DFO Rundown by talking about the Panthers once again winning hockey's ultimate prize.For GM Bill Zito, the celebration is short-lived as he now has to focus on trying to keep this group together despite a tight salary cap situation. Frank talked about just how many of the big free agents he thinks the Panthers could hang onto.They then talked about the Edmonton Oilers, who got to within two games of winning it all. Now, they face a lot of big offseason questions. The first is around Evander Kane and the NHL's investigation into their use of LTIR. Frank gave some insight into that. They also talked about the Trent Frederic extension.They then got into their Eastern Conference offseason preview, beginning with the Philadelphia Flyers. The list of needs for GM Danny Briere is long and they have plenty of assets and cap space to use if they want to. The Boston Bruins are going to be looking to bounce back and add some scoring punch to their roster but they are not the only team in that boat. The Rangers, Red Wings, and Sabres are all looking to take steps forward.Tyler then popped on for Buy or Sell, where he asked the guys about what playoff team is going to be the busiest this summer and how many players from this last Cup Final could he Hall of Famers one day.0:15 - Panthers repeat as Cup Champs4:00 - Evander Kane Investigation11:30 - Trent Frederic Extension17:30 - Philadelphia Flyers23:00 - Boston Bruins28:45 - Buffalo Sabres35:50 - Pittsburgh Penguins39:25 - New York Islanders42:55 - New York Rangers46:25 - Detroit Red Wings50:05 - Columbus Blue Jackets56:20 - Buy or SellWant to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?

Kick off your week with an all new episode of The DFO Rundown with Jason Gregor and Frank Seravalli as they give you a full offseason preview for each of the eight non-playoff teams in the Western Conference.They started in the basement with the San Jose Sharks, who have boatloads of cap space. Should GM Mike Grier spend like crazy? Or stay the course? The guys debated that. They then had a similar conversation about the Chicago Blackhawks.The Nashville Predators were one of the more disappointing teams in the NHL this year and now, they'll try to get things back on the rails. That could involve trading one of the players they signed last summer. The Seattle Kraken have some contracts that Frank thinks they need to move and probably won't be buyers.Speaking of buyers, that's the expectation in both Anaheim and Utah. Both Frank and Jason agreed that those two teams should be very aggressive this summer. They then went up to Canada to talk about the Vancouver Canucks, who are trying to turn over a new leaf after a drama filled 2024-25 season and have some clear holes on their roster. The Calgary Flames were one of the more positive surprises in the NHL and instead of heading towards a rebuild, GM Craig Conroy could try to add to this group and try make them a legit playoff team.Tyler then popped on for a new edition of Fill in the Blank where he asked the guys about Sam Bennett's Conn Smythe chances and the rumblings about NHL expansion.They wrapped up the show with some Stanley Cup Final talk as the Panthers have the Oilers on the brink of elimination for a second consecutive season. Can they finish things off on Tuesday? Or will the Oilers drag them back to Alberta?2:10 - San Jose Sharks9:10 - Chicago Blackhawks14:40 - Nashville Predators21:20 - Seattle Kraken26:20 - Anaheim Ducks30:25 - Utah Mammoth34:20 - Vancouver Canucks41:10 - Calgary Flames46:45 - Fill in the Blank59:50 - Game 6 PreviewWant to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?

Frank and Jason are back with a fresh episode of The DFO Rundown. There's only been one Stanley Cup Final game since the last pod on Monday, so today they focused more on some offseason topics, starting with the first trade of the summer as Chris Kreider is on the verge of being dealt to the Anaheim Ducks.After breaking down that deal, they got into Frank's five offer sheet candidates including Maple Leafs forward Matthew Knies. Could a team take a big swing and offer Knies a $10m+ deal? Frank thinks it's possible but Gregor says any team doing that would be foolish.From there, they talked about what the Rangers' next move could be and speculated on K'Andre Miller's future with the team. They also broke down the Isaac Howard situation in Tampa Bay.Tyler then popped on for a new edition of Buy or Sell where he asked the guys about Mitch Marner's rights, two of the new big names on Frank's trade targets board, and he led them into some Stanley Cup Final talk.They wrapped up the show by talking about some potential adjustments for the Edmonton Oilers as they look to bounce back from getting blown out in Game 3. For the Panthers, they'll look to take a 3-1 stranglehold and get to within one win of their second straight Stanley Cup.1:30 - Kreider to the Ducks7:30 - Offer sheet watch12:10 - Could Knies make $10m+?26:30 - Rangers next move29:15 - Isaac Howard's future35:00 - Buy or Sell42:38 - Stanley Cup FinalWant to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?

Frank and Jason are back with a fresh episode of The DFO Rundown as they previewed this year's Stanley Cup Final, which is a rematch of last year's battle between the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers.They began by talking about each of these teams paths to the final. The Oilers have been picked against in a lot of their series and yet, have finished off each of the last two rounds in just five games. Does that say more about their competition? Or the level of play they're at? Gregor says their ability to play near mistake free hockey is the big reason why they've been able to roll through the last few rounds.Frank talked about how the Florida Panthers have some fresh faces in their lineup as well and that we shouldn't be discounting the defending Stanley Cup Champions. They also had a pretty tough path to get back to this point beating a trio of really good teams.They also talked about players like Jake Walman and Brad Marchand, whose fingerprints should be all over this series. To wrap, they shared who their x-factors are in this series and gave their picks for both the series and the Conn Smythe Trophy.Tyler then jumped on for Fill in the Blank where he talked to the guys about the teams that both the Oilers and Panthers have eliminated thus far and how different they could look to start next season. He also got their take on Pete DeBoer's decision to pull Jake Oettinger and his comments after the game.To wrap up, Frank gave some insight into the final two coaching vacancies that still exist in both Pittsburgh and Boston. Gregor also talked about some of the coaching news from last week in Seattle and New York.1:10 - Oilers vs Panthers for The Cup19:00 - X-Factors for each team23:50 - Series picks & Conn Smythe picks29:50 - Fill in the Blank41:40 - Coaching updates (Isles, Kraken, Bruins & Penguins)Want to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?

Frank and Jason kicked off today's episode of The DFO Rundown by talking about the first Trade Targets list of the summer that dropped earlier this week.They started at the top of the list with Sabres forward JJ Peterka, who is a pending RFA. How could the Sabres move on from Peterka and improve at the same time? The guys discussed that and a hypothetical deal involving Marco Rossi, who is also in Frank's top five.From there, they talked about a few of the defensemen on the list, starting with Rasmus Andersson and his future with the Flames and then they had a big discussion about what the Pittsburgh Penguins could do with Erik Karlsson. If the Penguins were willing to retain a significant portion of his salary, would there be a market for the former 100-point defenseman? Gregor found a spot that he thinks make a lot of sense. They also touched on Jamie Oleksiak of the Seattle Kraken, who is entering the final year of his deal.Tyler then joined for Buy or Sell where he asked the guys about the Rangers situation with Chris Kreider, the Kraken selling off assets, Demko's future in Vancouver, and Sam Bennett's case to be a $10m player.The guys then turned their attention to the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Oilers got a big win in Game 4 of the Western Conference Final but it came at a brutal cost as they lost Zach Hyman for the remainder of the postseason. They talked about how the Oilers will adjust their lineup and how much losing Hyman impacts their Stanley Cup chances.1:20 - JJ Peterka & The Sabres5:00 - Rossi for Peterka?11:25 - Rasmus Andersson & The Flames15:20 - Karlsson's future in Pittsburgh28:10 - Buy or Sell (Kreider, the Kraken, & Demko)38:30 - Oilers lose HymanWant to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?

Frank and Jason are back with a fresh episode of The DFO Rundown to kick off the week.To begin things today, they talked about the Islanders' decision to go with Mathieu Darche as their next General Manager. He takes over a pretty flawed Isles roster and will certainly have his work cut out for him. The guys talked about what's on his checklist for this summer and the decision that looms involving current Head Coach Patrick Roy.After that, they dug into the Conference Finals. We've seen three games in both the East and West and one series has been much more interesting than the others.The Florida Panthers have been absolutely pummeling the Carolina Hurricanes, which has raised some questions about the Canes roster and also Rod Brind'Amour, who is close to losing his 12th straight Conference Finals game.Out west, the Oilers took a 2-1 series lead over the Stars on Sunday. Stuart Skinner turned in another impressive performance, Evan Bouchard continued to shine and Connor McDavid found the back of the net twice. The guys talked about the series and how the Oilers have this feeling like a lot more than a 2-1 series lead.Tyler then joined for ‘Fill in the Blank' where he asked the guys about Mitch Marner's fit in Carolina, their NHL GM of the Year, and the Stanley Cup odds on Bet365.To wrap, the guys talked a little bit about USA's win at the World Hockey Championships.1:10 - Darche lands on Long Island11:30 - Panthers jump out to a 3-0 lead20:25 - Oilers lead Stars 2-138:20 - Fill in the Blank50:00 - USA wins Gold at WorldsWant to hear more from Frank, Jason and the entire DFO team?
