Jason and Frank are back with a fresh edition of the podcast, in which they put a bow on their trade deadline coverage by grading what all the sellers did last Friday. Frank kicked things off with a spicy take and gave which trade he thinks could be this year’s version of the infamous Filip Forsberg for Martin Erat trade.

From there, they talked about how they felt teams like the Penguins, Bruins, and Sharks did when it came to selling off assets. They also hit on the New Jersey Devils, who became ‘soft buyers’ with the injury to Jack Hughes. The guys talked about whether or not they should have sold off.

The conversation about the Sharks eventually turned into a Connor Bedard vs Macklin Celebrini comparison as Gregor talked about the overuse of the ‘generational’ title and Frank talked about Bedard’s path to having a MacKinnon-esque career.

They also talked about the Seattle Kraken and Philadelphia Flyers, who both sold off some assets on Friday, before quickly talking about two teams out West that stood still during the deadline period but still find themselves right in the middle of the playoff race.

Tyler Yaremchuk then popped in for a new edition of Fill in the Blank, brought to you by Bet365. He asked the guys about one playoff matchup that they would want to lock in, the Flames playoff chances, and potential summer shake-ups.

Jason and Frank are back with a new episode of The DFO Rundown as the dust has settled on all of the drama that we got on deadline day. To kick things off, they talked about one of the trades that didn’t happen on Friday: Mitch Marner to Carolina.

How close was a deal and what does this mean for Marner’s future with the Toronto Maple Leafs? Frank gave some insight into that and the guys talked about what kind of deal he could get if he hits free agency this summer.

From there, they talked about the Mikko Rantanen deal. The fit with Dallas makes a lot of sense, but what about the two teams that have traded him this season? Both the Hurricanes and Avalanche have undergone some massive roster surgery over the last few months, but are they better today?

They also talked about the very steep price that the Avalanche paid for Brock Nelson, gave some extra context to why the Hurricanes had to move on from Rantanen, and the Brad Marchand stunner that came in right at the buzzer.

Tyler then popped in for Buy or Sell where he asked the guys about the Stanley Cup odds, the chances of a deadline rental signing back with his former team on July 1, and the Devils deadline activity.

To wrap things up, they talked about the Cozens for Norris deal and what the teams in the Pacific Division got up to at the deadline.

0:53 - Marner’s future

4:30 - How Rantanen landed in Dallas

7:00 - The Avs overhaul

12:00 - The Canes return

26:00 - Marchand goes to Boston

45:20 - Buy or Sell (Stanley Cup odds & NJD)

55:50 - Norris for Cozens

1:04:10 - Oilers, Kings & Golden Knights

1:09:20 - The Canucks deadline

Jason Gregor and Frank Seravalli did a special LIVE Trade Deadline preview to get ready for what should be a wild 24 hours around the NHL.

As we approach deadline day, there is a new number one on Frank’s Trade Targets board as Mikko Rantanen has rocketed up the board. Where could he land? Will the Hurricanes even move him? The guys gave their takes.

From there, they talked about what the New Jersey Devils could do now that they’ll be without Jack Hughes for the remainder of the regular season and playoffs. Some thought it could lead to them being sellers, but Frank threw cold water on that idea.

They also talked about the series of trades we saw yesterday which included the Tampa Bay Lightning making another massive splash and the Pittsburgh Penguins making a puzzling trade with the Nashville Predators. Could Pittsburgh flip the assets that they got?

Tyler then popped on for a special edition of Fill in the Blank that was fueled solely by questions from the live chat. They talked about a potential deal between the Avs and Flames, what the Blue Jackets could get up to, and the chances of Brock Nelson heading to Winnipeg.

To wrap, they went through some Western Conference teams that could make some noise in the next 24 hours. What could teams like the Oilers and Wild get up to? They talked about it.

0:45 - Rantanen’s availability

8:00 - Devils & the Hughes injury

11:10 - Bolts load up

13:45 - Penguins & Predators link up

With less than a week to go until the NHL Trade Deadline, we finally saw some trade action over the weekend as a couple of major moves went down. To start, the Florida Panthers made a big splash, acquiring Seth Jones from the Chicago Blackhawks. How significantly did the Panthers change their chances of repeating as Stanley Cup Champions? Did the Blackhawks make a mistake by retaining money? The guys talked about the deal from both sides.

They also hit on the deal that saw Ryan Lindgren end up in Colorado as the New York Rangers continued to sell off their pending UFAs. The Avalanche needed some help on the blueline, but will he be enough? Also, could the Rangers turn their attention to adding now that most of their free agents have been offloaded?

From there, they dug into Frank’s latest Trade Targets board that features a whole bunch of players from the New York Islanders and Seattle Kraken. Will those two teams commit to fully selling off? Frank says it would be a mistake not too.

They also touched on deadline plans for the Vancouver Canucks and New Jersey Devils.

Tyler then popped in for a new edition of Buy or Sell where he asked the guys about some other deadline situations like who could load up in the Pacific Division, the St. Louis Blues deadline plans, and what the Maple Leafs could get up to.

0:55 - Jones lands in Florida

8:40 - Avs acquire Lindgren

10:55 - What could the Rangers do?

13:30 - New Trade Targets

31:15 - What’s the plan in Vancouver?

37:30 - Will the Devils be aggressive?

With only eight days until the NHL Trade Deadline, Frank Seravalli and Jason went through the Western Conference and what they believe each team could get up to in the next week.

They start by discussing the Schenn brothers and the possibility of them both moving at the deadline – and maybe even reuniting for a playoff run.

The Winnipeg Jets are trending to be big dogs heading into the playoffs. But will they be able to add to their winning culture, or will they ride the hot hand and stay put?

On the flip side, the Seattle Kraken are on Year 5 and still don't seem to be trending in the right direction. What could they do to flip the script?

Frank addresses the rumors surrounding Seth Jones and his connections to the Dallas Stars. They also dive into his comments to the media the other day about being unhappy with the Blackhawks' play after a disappointing loss to Utah.

Taking a look into the Colorado Avalanche and their deadline plans, Frank and Jason chat about Gabriel Landeskog's health. They then talk about Minnesota's future and the need to boost their center position and powerplay. They believe Bill Guerin should look into Brock Nelson at the deadline.

They then move over to the Pacific Division, starting with the L.A. Kings. How do they finally take the next step in the postseason? Could Mikko Rantanen be available and could he end up in Los Angeles?

Frank then dives into the Utah Hockey Club and believes they could still make a serious push for the playoffs. Will Karel Vejmelka be moved at the deadline and if they don't make the playoffs does that guarantee a change of pace between the pipes?

The guys dive into Calgary's deadline plans and what the Vancouver Canucks may be looking to do, Frank believes the Canucks would be open to almost anything thrown their way and are actively shopping Carson Soucy.

Ty was sick, so Producer Patrick jumps in to ask a couple fill in the blanks questions for bet365. They talk about Schenn Brothers, the team most likely to make a big splash at the deadline and the best defenseman to be moved in the next week.

Last, but not least, the guys took a look at the Edmonton Oilers and what Stan Bowman could do before the deadline to boost this team's chances. Frank recently spoke with Stan Bowman in his latest episode of Frankly Speaking.

They finished off the podcast chatting about the Stadium Series between the Detroit Red Wings and Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday.

With the 4Nations Faceoff now firmly in the rearview mirror, Jason and Frank returned for a new episode of The DFO Rundown. To kick off the show, they looked at some of the injury news that came out of the NHL’s mid-season tournament as some teams will now be without some star players as they head down the stretch.

There is some drama around the Charlie McAvoy situation, which Frank said was ridiculous, but the Bruins now look like they could be sellers. They have some intriguing rentals but the big question is whether or not they will trade Brad Marchand or one of their defensemen with term.

Matt Tkachuk is going to miss some time for the Florida Panthers after sustaining an injury at the 4Nations Face-Off, could that change their deadline plans? GM Bill Zito doesn’t have a lot of assets or a lot of cap space, but he’s known to be a creative GM. Frank talked about what they could add.

They also hit on the Mikko Rantanen situation in Carolina, the New Jersey Devils' plans and whether or not the Washington Capitals will go all-in at the deadline.

Tyler then popped in for a new edition of Buy or Sell where he asked the guys about the goaltending situations with the Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks.

To wrap, they talked about some of the teams that are on the bubble in the Eastern Conference like the Detroit Red Wings, Columbus Blue Jackets and New York Islanders.

After a little bit of drama on the final day of round-robin play, the hockey world is going to get what it’s wanted all along: a rematch between Canada and USA in the final of the 4Nations Face-Off. The Americans are looking to prove that they are the number one hockey country in world while the Canadians are looking to prove that the loss last Saturday was just a one-off.

They started the podcast by talking about some breaking news from earlier today as Team USA learned that they will be without defenceman Charlie McAvoy. Who could replace him? The guys shared their thoughts on that and also talked about whether or not Auston Matthews and the Tkachuk brothers are going to be able to play.

They also talked about the atmosphere at TD Garden in Boston as things shift south of the border. Will there be boos? Will there be fights? Will there be more offence? They went through all the big factors that will come into play on Thursday night.

Tyler then popped in for a new edition of Fill in the Blank, brought to you by Bet365, where he asked the guys for their MVP picks depending on if Canada or USA gets the win on Thursday.

To wrap up the show, they each gave their predictions for Thursday night and went through a few more key storylines.

Today on the podcast, Jason Gregor was joined by his usual running mate Frank Seravalli, who was live in Montreal for the 4Nations Face-Off, where things are starting to heat up!

The tournament opener created some interesting questions for Team Canada. Where will Travis Sanheim slot in and can he replace Shea Theodore? Should Head Coach Jon Cooper change up his forward lines? And of course, the big one: should Jordan Binnington continue being the starter? The guys gave their take.

On the American side of things, it was the ‘Tkachuk Show’ on Thursday night as Brady and Matthew absolutely took over the game during USA’s 6-1 win over Team Finland. Team USA certainly has some swagger, but can they keep it rolling on Saturday night against Team Canada?

From there, they talked about the booing of the American national anthem, the league's change to a ten-minute 3v3 overtime, the 3-2-1-0 point system, Sidney Crosby’s performance in game one and other big headlines from the first 48 hours of the tournament.

Tyler then popped in for Buy or Sell where he asked the guys about which players impressed in their first game in Montreal and what deadline deals they’d like to see happening.

The guys wrapped up with some talk about Frank’s annual Trade Deadline Matchmaker article where he looked at some potential fits for some of his trip deadline targets. He had names that he thinks would fit on teams like the Winnipeg Jets, Dallas Stars, and Edmonton Oilers.

4:20 - Canada’s goaltending situation

9:05 - The Tkachuk’s big night

17:05 - The Bell Centre boos

24:19 - Sweden’s big point
